[routing-wg] RPKI Validator 2.19; export ROAs as RPSL route: objects

Hello,

We've been getting a lot of requests to make processed RPKI data easily available in existing (RPSL based) workflows. This is why we added the ability to export all ROAs as route: objects in the latest release, version 2.19. Practically, this means that running an RPSL export will give you almost 450,000 highly reliable, cryptographically validated route: objects.

This functionality should be considered beta for now, because we would like to get your feedback on the notation and the way we de-aggregate ROAs into route: objects based on the specified maximum prefix length. 

The format looks like this:

route: 193.0.12.0/23
origin: AS3333
