We need to mark routes as stale for route refresh based on session, not on router id, as we may have multiple sessions with a single router and thus single router id.

This discriminator should be something specific to the BGP session, since that should have a 1:1 mapping to a configured peer.
I did an initial code-dive to see what value might make sense to use in our BGP implementation, and it seems like Cnx: BgpConnection is the likely candidate. A tuple of local/remote sockaddrs might also be an option here, but that just seems like peeling one layer of abstraction off of the BgpConnection trait without an immediately obvious upside.

Use socket addr pair to distinguish between BGP sessions
8e5d38f 
BGP-ID is insufficient to distinguish between BGP sessions, as it's
perfectly valid/reasonable to have multiple sessions to the same peer.
Or an operator can (incorrectly or otherwise) assign the same BGP-ID to
multiple routers.
This ensures that Session-A to Peer-A going down does not impact
Session-B to Peer-A.

Fixes: #241
