vty/command: fix: restrict the expert mode to the current session
Having the expert mode flag stored in the global 'host' structure
was a bad idea, because this way it applies globally. In other
words, if user Bob activates the expert mode in his dedicated
session (e.g. a telnet connection), then not only him, but all
other users would see the hidden commands in their VTYs.
Moreover, if somebody deactivates the expert mode, it would also
affect the Bob's VTY session. And finally, terminating a VTY
session would not deactivate the expert mode.
Let's move that flag from the global 'struct host' to 'struct vty'
representing an individual VTY session, so then the expert mode
would only affect the session where it was activated.
In functions related to the XML VTY reference generation we don't
have access to 'struct vty' (there may be no VTY session at all).
Add two additional arguments to vty_dump_nodes(), indicating the
global flag mask and a matching mode. This would allow to match
the VTY commands in many different ways, e.g. one can dump hidden
commands only, or all commands except the library specific ones.
