[PATCH RFC v2] Preserve BGP attributes from non-BGP protocols

There is no reason to overwrite attributes like AS path, next hop, etc. when the
route source is not BGP. Preserving them has several advantages:
* no attributes are lost by using opaque pipes
* BGP attributes can by pre-populated in other protocols' import filters
As a side effect of moving code from bgp_create_attrs() to bgp_update_attrs(),
the BGP protocol now uses the same logic to determine if the "gw" attribute
should be used as next hop for routes from BGP sources as for those from other
sources. Previously, the "gw" attribute was never for routes from BGP.
Limitations:
* The handling of routes imported from/exported to route reflectors isn't
preserved through opaque pipes

Hi,
I found a small issue with my first patch (origin and local_pref attributes not
being preserved), so here is a v2.
Regards,
Matthias
