Add Support for 4-byte ASNs in x.y Notation

If you attempt to include a 4-byte ASN in the x.y notation, exabgp exits with a traceback.

To see this, include an AS Path that includes an ASN in the x.y notation, such as:

as-path 1.123;

There are two items here:
a) Feature: It doesn't support x.y notation for ASNs.
b) Bug: It doesn't gracefully handle non-numeric ASNs.

The attached patch should add support for ASNs in the x.y notation and also cause exabgp to raise a syntax error when it encounters a non-numeric ASN. I tested it locally and it behaved as expected.

I am using exabgp 1.3.3 on FreeBSD 8.2 with Python 2.6.6.

This feature is now implemented in mercurial as requested.
Thank you for the patch, I have implemented a slightly different version which should address both issues.
