[ixpmanager] v4 OpenBGPd Template

[Mike Hammett]

It is indeed my intention to send the work upstream. Why work on something "new" for an open source project if you're not going to contribute it back? 

I've reached out to Peter to see what we can put together.

Correct. 

To make it into the IXP Manager distribution (if that's your intention) 
would requires that the CLA [1] be signed and near feature parity with 
the existing Bird configs (specifically: secure by default):

Peter Hessler of OpenBGPd has also expressed an interest in working on this. 

v4 now also includes a looking glass using Birdseye. Non-Bird route 
servers would not be supported for this either BUT we've written the LG 
implementation so that it's backend agnostic.

I specifically had GoBGP in my mind here as they have a super API 
interface but we just need to see it used in production as route servers 
for a while before spending time on it.
