[patch] permit including other files in bird.conf

[Alexander V. Chernikov]

Hello list!

bird filters/functions are very powerful mechanism for managing route 
announces and redistribution.
However, building complicated filters or/and applying filters on peers 
based on RIPE (or MERIT, or ..) database makes bird.conf grow very fast.
Additionally, all this machine-generated stuff needs to be in the 
beginning since config parser requires filters to be defined _before_ 
using them.
As a result, human re-configuration becomes more complicated. Proposed 
solution is to add include directive to permit (recursive)
include of other files from bird[6].conf. Patch is attached, 
comments/reviews are welcome.
