IPv6 - FRR BGP issue with Redistribute connected networks
100%
Description
Environment: FRR BGP with pfSense 2.4.3_1
Use Case: Redistribute IPv6 networks (/64 networks from a /48 subnet).
The IPv6 networks to redistribute are directly connected to pfSense.
Bug:
Selecting Yes to "Redistribute connected network" is not picking up those IPv6 networks.
If the networks are added manually to Networks to Distribute, everything works fine.

Looks like FRR assumes the globally declared option to be IPv4 only.
In bgpd.conf:
router bgp 65506 redistribute connected address-family ipv4 unicast network 10.6.0.0/16
But when viewing the running configuration from vtysh:
router bgp 65506 ... address-family ipv4 unicast network 10.6.0.0/16 redistribute connected exit-address-family
So it looks like we may need to change the current No/Yes options to allow None, IPv4, IPv6, or Both, and then put the directives in the appropriate address-family block.

This PR allow to select No/IPv4/IPv6/IPv4+IPv6 in the Redistribute drop-down menu (where 'IPv4+IPv6' is 'yes' for backward compatibility with previous configs)
It also fix creating 'address-family' entries in bgpd.conf, by doing this in more accurate way:

tested on 2.5.0.a.20200305.2255 with frr 0.6.4_2
works as expected - address family sections now looks good
