import-limit6 set to 200,000 in BIRD config rather than 300,000 per configuration docs. #237
Description
Describe the bug
I have two transit peers for v6 and noticed one of the sessions was getting closed due to max prefixes, which happened to be slightly more than 200,000 (full table from provider). Other session at ~196k had not hit this limit yet.
Looking at the config documentation, "import-limit6" default is listed as 300,000, but when running pathvector generate it translates to "20000" in the generated BIRD config file when "import-limit6" not explicitly set in template or peer configuration within pacthvector's configuration file.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Copy this config to pathvector.yml...
- Run
pathvector -v generateand it processes correctly without any errors. - Open peer's BIRD config file and see that definition of v6 import limit is "200000".
Expected behavior
BIRD configuration for peer should have IPv6 limit set to 300,000 rather than 200,000:
...
define AS6939_HEV6_IMPORT_v6 = 200000;
...
after setting "import-limit6" in pathvector.yml to 400000, the generated BIRD config file for peer updates as expected:
...
define AS6939_HEV6_IMPORT_v6 = 400000;
...
