[EVPN-MH] Add CLI commands for EVPN VXLAN Multihoming configuration (#380)
#### Why I did it
This PR adds CLI commands to configure and monitor EVPN VXLAN Multihoming (EVPN-MH) feature in SONiC. These commands enable network operators to:
- Configure global EVPN-MH parameters (startup delay, MAC/neighbor hold times)
- Configure EVPN Ethernet Segments on LAG/PortChannel interfaces
- Set Designated Forwarder (DF) preference for load distribution
- Display EVPN ES, ES-EVI, and L2 nexthop information
This complements the EVPN-MH infrastructure added in sonic-swss and sonic-swss-common.
##### Work item tracking
- Microsoft ADO **(number only)**:
#### How I did it
**Global EVPN-MH Configuration** (evpn_mh.py):
1. **`config evpn-mh startup-delay <0-3600>`** - Configure EVPN-MH startup delay (default: 300s)
- Determines how long to wait before declaring local Ethernet Segments as up after system boot
- Prevents premature traffic forwarding during initialization
- Valid range: 0-3600 seconds
2. **`config evpn-mh mac-holdtime <0-86400>`** - Configure MAC hold time (default: 1080s)
- Duration to retain remote MAC entries after EVPN route withdrawal
- Allows for graceful handling of temporary connectivity issues
- Valid range: 0-86400 seconds
3. **`config evpn-mh neigh-holdtime <0-86400>`** - Configure neighbor hold time (default: 1080s)
- Duration to retain neighbor entries after EVPN route withdrawal
- Valid range: 0-86400 seconds
**Interface-level EVPN-ES Configuration** (main.py):
4. **`config interface evpn-esi add <interface> <esi>`** - Add EVPN Ethernet Segment Identifier
- Supports two ESI types:
- **Type 0 (Manual)**: `00:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX` - Operator-configured 10-byte ESI
- First byte must be 0x00 (Type 0)
- Validates against reserved ESIs (all zeros, all FFs)
- Prevents duplicate manual ESI across interfaces
- **Type 3 (MAC-based)**: `auto-system-mac` - Auto-generated from system MAC
- Uses port ID derived from interface name
- Leverages `system_mac` from PORTCHANNEL table if configured
- Integrates with FRR via vtysh commands
- Stores configuration in CONFIG_DB `EVPN_ETHERNET_SEGMENT` table
5. **`config interface evpn-esi del <interface>`** - Remove EVPN Ethernet Segment configuration
- Removes from CONFIG_DB
- Cleans up FRR configuration (es-id, es-sys-mac, es-df-pref)
6. **`config interface evpn-df-pref <interface> <1-65535>`** - Set DF preference
- Controls Designated Forwarder election priority (higher value = higher preference)
- Default: 32767
- Valid range: 1-65535
- Updates both CONFIG_DB and FRR configuration
**Show Commands** (evpn.py):
7. **`show evpn`** - Display general EVPN information
8. **`show evpn es [<esi>]`** - Display Ethernet Segment information
- Optional ESI parameter to show specific ES details
9. **`show evpn es-evi [<vni>]`** - Display Ethernet Segment per EVI information
- Optional VNI parameter to filter by specific VLAN/VNI
10. **`show evpn es-evi detail`** - Show detailed ES-EVI information
11. **`show evpn l2-nh`** - Display L2 nexthop groups for EVPN all-active ES
All show commands leverage FRR's `show evpn` commands via `bgp_util.run_bgp_show_command()`.
**Testing** (210+ test cases):
- config_evpn_mh_test.py - Global EVPN-MH configuration tests
- Startup delay validation (boundary values, valid/invalid inputs)
- MAC holdtime validation
- Neighbor holdtime validation
- config_int_evpn_test.py - Interface EVPN-ES configuration tests
- Manual ESI configuration (Type 0)
- MAC-based ESI configuration (Type 3)
- ESI validation (reserved ESI rejection, format validation, duplicate detection)
- DF preference configuration
- Configuration add/delete operations
- Error handling and edge cases
**Helper Functions**:
- `is_reserved_esi()` - Validates against reserved ESI values
- `parse_esi_input()` - Parses and validates ESI input (Type 0 vs Type 3)
- `port_id_from_if_name()` - Extracts numeric port ID from interface name
- `check_if_same_manual_esi_exists()` - Prevents duplicate manual ESI configuration
- `run_vtysh_command()` - Wraps vtysh execution for FRR integration
**Files Changed**:
- evpn_mh.py - New file (109 lines)
- main.py - Added 199 lines for interface EVPN commands
- evpn.py - New file (67 lines)
- main.py - Added 2 lines to register EVPN command group
- config_evpn_mh_test.py - New file (104 lines)
- config_int_evpn_test.py - New file (230 lines)
**Total**: +711 lines across 6 files
#### How to verify it
**Global EVPN-MH Configuration**:
```bash
# Configure global EVPN-MH parameters
config evpn-mh startup-delay 600
config evpn-mh mac-holdtime 2000
config evpn-mh neigh-holdtime 2000
# Verify in CONFIG_DB
redis-cli -n 4 HGETALL "EVPN_MH_GLOBAL|default"
```
**Interface EVPN-ES Configuration**:
```bash
# Configure Type 0 (manual) ESI on PortChannel
config interface evpn-esi add PortChannel1 00:01:02:03:04:05:06:07:08:09
# Configure Type 3 (MAC-based) ESI
config interface evpn-esi add PortChannel2 auto-system-mac
# Set DF preference
config interface evpn-df-pref PortChannel1 50000
# Verify in CONFIG_DB
redis-cli -n 4 HGETALL "EVPN_ETHERNET_SEGMENT|PortChannel1"
# Verify in FRR
vtysh -c "show running-config" | grep -A 5 "interface PortChannel1"
# Delete ESI
config interface evpn-esi del PortChannel1
```
**Show Commands**:
```bash
# Display EVPN information
show evpn
show evpn es
show evpn es 00:01:02:03:04:05:06:07:08:09
