Enhance the route add/del APIs to take a set of paths rather than just one.
Most unicast routing protocols calcualte all the available paths in one
run of the algorithm so updating all the paths at once is beneficial for the client.
two knobs control the behaviour:
is_multipath - if set the the set of paths passed will be added to those
that already exist, otherwise the set will replace them.
is_add - add or remove the set
is_add=0, is_multipath=1 and an empty set, results in deleting the route.
It is also considerably faster to add multiple paths at once, than one at a time:

The interpose source allows the source/provider to insert/interpose
a DPO in the forwarding chain of the FIB entry ahead of the forwarding
provided by the next best source. For example if the API source (i.e
the 'control plane') has provided an adjacency for forwarding, then
an interpose source (e.g. a monitoring service) couold interpose a
replicatte DPO to copy the traffic to another location AND forward
using the API's adjacency.
To use the interose feature an existing source (i.e FIB_SOURCE_PLUGIN_HI)
cn specifiy as a flag FIB_ENTRY_FLAG_INTERPOSE and provide a DPO to
interpose. One might also consider using interpose in conjunction with
FIB_ENTRY_FLAG_COVER_INHERIT to ensure the interpose object affects
all prefixes in the sub-tree.

- support both pipe and uniform modes for all MPLS LSP
- all API programming for output-labels requires that the mode (and associated data) is specificed
- API changes in MPLS, BIER and IP are involved
- new DPO [sub] types for MPLS labels to handle the two modes.

as decsribed in section 2.2
ihttps://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-bier-mpls-encapsulation-10
with BIFT encoding from:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-wijnandsxu-bier-non-mpls-bift-encoding-00
changes:
1 - introduce the new BIFT lookup table. BIER tables that have an associated
MPLS label are added to the MPLS-FIB. Those that don't are added to the
BIER table
2 - BIER routes that have no associated output MPLS label will add a BIFT label.
3 - The BIER FMask has a path-list as a member to resolve via any possible path.
