I was duplicating a lot of prefixes into [rejection_reasons]. With the BIRD source, this wasn't an issue, but with bgplgd sources which don't show Adj-RIBs-Out data per-peer, the presence of a route in the [rejection_reasons] section actually shows the route as filtered, even though it wasn't actually getting filtered out.

This adds some comments to the sections to describe their use a bit more, in the hopes of preventing this confusion for future alice-lg operators.
