Workaround patch

I see multiple repeatable crashes of ripd triggered by an assert.

The problem was reported upstream over a year ago (2018-04-12) by another person but the PR is still in UNCONFIRMED state there and got no attention:

https://bugzilla.quagga.net/show_bug.cgi?id=985

I reported my own analisys of the problem with workaround patch eliminating crash there:

https://bugzilla.quagga.net/show_bug.cgi?id=1008

However, I doubt it will be resolved upstream in foreseeable future. Please consider adding this patch to the port meantime.

Log:
  net/quagga: unbreak ripd for 1.2.4

  ripd is essentially non-functional in quagga-1.2.4
  as it aborts on first announce timeout due to some threading logic bug.

  The problem was reported upstream over a year ago and ignored:
  https://bugzilla.quagga.net/show_bug.cgi?id=985
  https://bugzilla.quagga.net/show_bug.cgi?id=1008

  Add work-around that restores ripd stability.
