BGP: T2100: Adding RFC8212 option toggle.
Adding documentation on the default RFC8212 behavior for FRR, and how in VyOS we are changing that default. Also added information on the toggle option to enable/disable said RFC8212 functionality.

This command goes hand in hand with the listen range command to limit the
amount of BGP neighbors that are allowed to connect to the local router.
The limit range is 1 to 5000.

+
+ This command changes the eBGP behavior of FRR. By default FRR enables
+ :rfc:`8212` functionality which affects how eBGP routes are advertised,
+ namely no routes are advertised across eBGP sessions without some
+ sort of egress route-map/policy in place. In VyOS however we have this
+ RFC functionality disabled by default so that we can preserve backwards
+ compatibility with older versions of VyOS. With this option one can
+ enable :rfc:`8212` functionality to operate.
