HET-SID-LIST: Heterogeneous SID lists containing compressed and non-compressed segments.

Description: The solution MUST support a combination of compressed and non-compressed segments

Rationale: This permits the migration of some SRv6 devices in a network to the compression scheme while permitting others to remain operational and useful.

Additionally, when compression is only needed on constrained platforms and for long SID-lists. It should not be required that, for example, a pure software router (Linux / VPP) implements the compression scheme.

Metric: A solution that supports compressed and non-compressed segments, and allows their combination within a segment list meets this requirement.
