Why I did it
By default when IPv6 address is configured with /128 as subnet mask in Loopback0 interface, it will be advertised as prefix with /64 subnet.
To control this behavior a new field 'bgp_adv_lo_prefix_as_128' is introduced in DEVICE_METADATA table which when set to true will advertise prefix with /128 subnet as it is.
How I did it
Modified the jinja templates and yang model to parse this field and advertise route as /128
How to verify it
Added UT in sonic-cfggen test as well yang to verify it
Which release branch to backport (provide reason below if selected)
