    nexthop: Rename artifacts related to legacy multipath nexthop groups · de1d1ee3
    Petr Machata authored
    After resilient next-hop groups have been added recently, there are two
    types of multipath next-hop groups: the legacy "mpath", and the new
    "resilient". Calling the legacy next-hop group type "mpath" is unfortunate,
    because that describes the fact that a packet could be forwarded in one of
    several paths, which is also true for the resilient next-hop groups.
    
    Therefore, to make the naming clearer, rename various artifacts to reflect
    the assumptions made. Therefore as of this patch:
    
    - The flag for multipath groups is nh_grp_entry::is_multipath. This
      includes the legacy and resilient groups, as well as any future group
      types that behave as multipath groups.
      Functions that assume this have "mpath" in the name.
    
    - The flag for legacy multipath groups is nh_grp_entry::hash_threshold.
      Functions that assume this have "hthr" in the name.
    
    - The flag for resilient groups is nh_grp_entry::resilient.
      Functions that assume this have "res" in the name.
    
    Besides the above, struct nh_grp_entry::mpath was renamed to ::hthr as
    well.
    
    UAPI artifacts were obviously left intact.
