Subject: Thought on non-transitive extended communities

It occurs to me that, for non-transitive extended communities,
we may want to discard them on INGRESS if the extended community
path attribute is marked with the PARTIAL bit.  This can mean
that we have received something that should never had made it to
us in the first place.

Admittedly, this also would hit the case where a given border
router in your AS doesn't understand it, marks it as partial
and sends to an internal peer that does understand it.
