[Idr] Important updates to draft-ietf-idr-te-lsp-distribution for WG review

Hello All,

We (authors) have posted some important proposed updates to the draft for
WG review and feedback.

The major changes proposed are as follows:
a) Separation of NLRI types for the various TE Policies for better clarity
and proper handling in implementations.
b) "IP-based tunnels" were included as TE Policies in the introduction but
there was nothing further about them in the rest of the document. Reference
to them is being removed.
c) Clarifications on the use of various descriptors for respective NLRI
types and the use of appropriate Protocol-IDs for them.
d) Updates for some of the status information flags for SR Policies.
e) Addition of two new constraints sub-TLVs for SR Policy CPs.
f) Clarification of the metric types and their reporting (including two new
metric types)

There are also a few other editorial changes and fixes.

These changes are based on feedback and inputs from ongoing
implementations. As the authors are aware of multiple implementations (in
progress at various stages), we request the WG to review and provide your
feedback/inputs.

Thanks,
Ketan (on behalf of co-authors)
