commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=9007673de7b57c5e83c5e077f35d6948b8aa8954
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master
Upstream FRR accepts --enable-multipath=N in the range 1-999. Buildroot
previously hardcoded 256.
Add a config integer to set the maximum ECMP paths at build time, keeping
256 as the default. Lower values help match hardware limits or reduce
memory; higher values are useful for software routing or lab testing.
