You can use 'additional-paths selection' on its own without 'send' or
'receive' to filter what backup routes you install in the RIB/FIB. Using
this on its own does not negotiate add-path with any peers or advertise
multiple routes.

Unless I missed the point, the default behaviour of enabling
'best-external' now seems to be to install the backup route in the RIB/FIB,
which was not the case last time I looked at it and may not be desired
behaviour.
