using the syntax of `protocols bgp-evpn bgp-instance 1 routes bridge-table mac-ip advertise

BUM flooding.
* Andy informs me that Arista also has this feature. By setting 'router l2-vpn' and 'arp learning bridged',
the suppression of ARP requests/replies also works in the same way. This greatly reduces cross
router BUM flooding. If DE-CIX can do it, so can FrysIX :)
* some automation - although configuring the MAC-VRF across Arista and SR Linux is definitely not
as difficult as I thought, having some automation in place will avoid errors and mistakes. It
would suck if the IXP collapsed because I botched a link drain or PNI configuration!
