* Add FlowPathFlags to the FlowPath header.

* Implement DISCARD_FIRST_HOP_ENTRY and KEEP_ONLY_FIRST_HOP_ENTRY flags:
  - DISCARD_FIRST_HOP_ENTRY : After computing the shortest-path, the
    first-hop entry is discarded
  - KEEP_ONLY_FIRST_HOP_ENTRY : After computing the shortest-path,
    only the the first hop entry is kept, and the rest are discarded.
