Hello list!

There are a bunch of IP addresses used in example bird.conf.

Maybe we can consider using addresses from rfc5737 (IPv4 Address Blocks
Reserved for Documentation) for this?

I mean, do sed 's?62.168.0?198.51.100?g' bird.conf, for example

The same approach can be taken for ASN, there is rfc 5398 giving us
64496 - 64511 ASN block for 16-bits ASN.

Diff to current bird.conf (just an example) attached

P.S. and consider using rfc3849 2001:DB8::/32 when writing examples for
 bird6.conf
