[c-nsp] IOS-XR BGP RR MCID (Multiple Cluster ID)

[Saku Ytti]

add-path is not just about backup path, it's also about sending ecmp paths.

Some vendors do and all vendor should have add-path toggle separately
to how many best paths to send and how many backup paths to send.
You'd likely always want all ECMP paths but at most you care about 1
backup path.

OFC if you run INET in VRF you can just use unique RD per router, if
you have the DRAM.
