format_vl_api_prefix_t returns a dict with keys 'address' and 'address_length',
but other format_vl_api_prefix functions return a dict with 'prefix', and 'len'.
Refactor all format_vl_api_prefix_t to return consistent keys 'address' and 'len'.

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:
vat# ip_add_del_route 1.1.1.1/32 count 100000 multipath via 10.10.10.11
100000 routes in .572240 secs, 174751.80 routes/sec

If you pass in a non-unicode 4-byte ipv6 address to ip_address,
ipaddress interprets this as an IPv4Address.
Under python2, ip_address interprets 'a7::' as a packed ipv4:
97.55.58.58
You can test with:
---
import ipaddress
try:
text_type = unicode
except NameError:
text_type = str
addr = ipaddress.ip_address('a7::')
print(addr)

The API calls that use any of vl_api_address_t, vl_api_ip4_address,
vl_api_ip6_address_t, vl_api_prefix_t, vl_api_ip4_prefix_t,
vl_api_ip6_prefix_t now accepts either the old style dictionary,
a text string (2001:db8::/32) or an ipaddress ojbect.
Unless it is called with '_no_type_conversion':True, it will
also return an appropriate ipaddress object.
