Mark Goddard 073499f322 Allow OVS bridges to connect directly to interface
Currently we require a Linux bridge to exist between OVS and the
physical interface. This is necessary if you want to set an IP on the
native VLAN of that interface, but that is not always the case.

This change allows the physical interface (or any non-bridge interface)
to be plugged into OVS.

Adds support for plugging the Open vSwitch provider bridge directly into a
an Ethernet interface. Previously it was necessary to define a Linux
bridge, into which Kayobe would plug a virtual Ethernet pair. The use of a
direct connection may provide improved performance, or allow additional
hardware offloading. See `story 2007364
<https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2007364>`_ for details.
