[dev] Question about EVPN route types

[Donald Sharp]

I believe some vendors have plans for adding more evpn types.  I
cannot speak for them regarding their time schedules.

For FPM build FRR with `--enable-fpm` added on the configure line.
Zebra FPM has two choices for fpm forwarding netlink or protobuf
forwarding.  If you want protobuf, use '--enable-protobuf` in
configure, else only netlink is used as a communication medium.  To
load the appropriate module use -M fpm:netlink or -M fpm:protobuf
