route-map YANG model changed in 16.12, pulls in force tag as address

[sebageek]

The route-map YANG model changed in 16.12. Now a set next-hop 192.0.2.1 force has no <next-hop-addr> tag any more and both the ip and the force tag are listed as <address>.

In short this is the observed change:

# 16.9
              <next-hop>
                <next-hop-addr>
                  <address>192.0.2.1</address>
                  <force/>
                </next-hop-addr>
              </next-hop>

# 16.12
              <next-hop>
                <address>192.0.2.1</address>
                <address>force</address>
              </next-hop>

The YANG query used is for both sides

<rpc message-id="101" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
  <get>
    <filter>
      <native xmlns="http://cisco.com/ns/yang/Cisco-IOS-XE-native">
        <route-map>
          <name>seba-test-01</name>
        </route-map>
      </native>
    </filter>
  </get>
</rpc>

For completeness here the device configuration and the full YANG output.
