[j-nsp] Mixing v4/v6 neighbors in BGP groups

[Antti Ristimäki]

We try to keep IPv4 and IPv6 configuration always distinct from each
other, where possible. Thus, not mixing v4 and v6 peerings in the same
groups. This kind of ships in the night approach makes it much more
comfortable to operate the network as it minimizes the risk that changes
related to one family impacts the other one too.
