FRR supports set ip next-hop unchanged in a route-map to not set next-hop to self on an eBGP session, but it doesn't look like VyOS is able to set that:

vyos@vyos# set policy route-map testing rule 1 set ip-next-hop unchanged

  "unchanged" is not a valid value of type "ipv4"
  Value validation failed
  Set failed

Tested on 1.3.0, but I believe it's the same on 1.4

While it's being added, we should also add support FRR's ip next-hop peer-address which forces next-hop self.
