Moshe Levi 8f251134e8 Adding InfiniBand Support

InfiniBand is computer-networking communications standard
used in high-performance computing, features very high
throughput and very low latency. Where ethernet uses MAC
as unique identifier assigned to network interfaces,
InfiniBand uses GUID. The difference is
that MAC is 6 bytes and GID is 8 bytes. Moreover to be
able to PXE boot on InfiniBand network we should use DHCP
over InfiniBand https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4390.
The major changes to allow it is to generate client-id per
GID and add it as DHCP option to the neutron port.

This patch update the neutron port with CLient-ID
DHCP option when ironic port.extra has client-id
paramater.
