[ixpmanager] upgrade bird1 to bird2

[Ian Chilton]

Hi,

We upgraded from Bird v1.x to v2.x over 18 months ago now and it was 
painless - we just deployed new servers with BIRD 2, RPKI and Large 
Communities and switched over. It’s run without a problem since.

We run separate daemons for v4 and v6 and pull the config from IXP 
Manager.

Kind Regards,

Ian
