Rayhaan JaufeerallyandClaude Fable 5.1 af76ecb345 fix: leave sessions politely on shutdown; answer ROUTE-REFRESH
Against a production BIRD router, restarting ferrix was followed by
several refused connection attempts before the session came back.

- The daemon had no signal handling: Ctrl-C killed the process and the
  peer only ever saw a dead TCP connection. On SIGINT or SIGTERM it now
  sends Cease / Administrative Shutdown (RFC 4486) to every established
  peer, waits up to two seconds for the sessions to close, and stops the
  dialers from reconnecting meanwhile. A NOTIFICATION queued for a session
  ends that session once sent.
- ROUTE-REFRESH was parsed and ignored. A peer sends it when its import
  policy changes (e.g. after `birdc configure`), expecting our routes
  again so the new policy can be applied. The session now reports the
  request and the advertiser re-sends every local route to that peer. The
  request also appears in the event stream and the status page log.

Tests: a refresh request in real wire format re-sends all routes and keeps
the session up; shutdown delivers the Cease to every peer and closes the
sessions. Verified with the real binary: SIGINT, peer logs the Cease.
