Moving this back into draft state for now. Going to make some non-trivial changes to the liveness detection protocol, switching from unidirectional over ICMP to bidirectional over UDP. |

Summary of Changes
Adds a new RFC proposing Route Liveness Probing for the
doublezerodclient — a mechanism that continuously validates BGP-learned routes via UDP probes using a BFD-like protocol, dynamically installing or withdrawing them from the kernel routing table based on observed reachability.Closes #1965
