freebsd : how to allow loopback nexthop in OSPFv3-IPv4 ?

[benoitc at enki-multimedia.eu]

Thank you for the information. Tis didn't work but I think that 2.16 is probably missing a way to set the IP correctly on freebsd. This is probably missing that patch : https://gitlab.nic.cz/labs/bird/-/commit/e0ed978e753c57b65b89e860b49fd29acb0b43ad to make it works. Would be good to have a 2.16.1 that includes it.
