bgpd: generate json by default for [l]communities and aspaths

[pguibert6WIND]

The show bgp ipv4 detail json command takes a lot of memory, and
on Linux, when reading a full route, the resulting VM size of the
bgp daemon has increased from 10.2 GB to 19.2 GB (the measure
has been done with the pathch of the below link.

The hypothesis is that the memory management is culprit: on Linux,
pages are allocated to host memory blocks. When those memory
blocks are no more used, any empty page should be made available.

If the page is not freed, this probably means that some memory
blocks have not been freed. The troubleshooting shows that some
data of bgp entries store the json format when the usage is
requested. That would imply that for a given page, some memory
blocks will remain after the show, and others not.

In order to separate both usages on a shared page, do choose to
allocate the json output of bgp aspath, bgp communities, and
bgp large communities at startup.

The number of additional allocations done at startup is measured:

• 130472 aspaths
• 18471 communities
• 1308 large communities

The memory measurement is given for information and does not show
any significative improvement since only the initial VM size has
changed frmo 1663832KB to 2137220 GB.

Is this more like a demonstration? How the "default" can be changed (if this not for demonstration-only)?

[pguibert6WIND]

This is for demonstration. I would have expected better improvements.
closing the pr , then.
