[j-nsp] Where and how to inject the default route in DFZ

[Stepan Kucherenko]

I just use a generated 0/0 route which is active only if I receive 
specific prefixes from upstream(s).

If you don't want 0/0 in FIB then just add no-install. Not perfect but 
better than no delay at all.

I wish I could say something like "thos route is active when there are X 
routes received from this neighbor(s) and they're already in FIB" but I 
didn't find anything like that either.
