Configuring BGP AS number substitution

When CEs at different sites have the same AS number, configure the BGP AS number substitution function to avoid route loss. If the AS_PATH attribute of a route contains the AS number of the specified CE, the PE replaces the AS number with its own AS number before advertising the route to that CE.
