Jan Gutter 01316ed5fe Add Agilio OVS VIF and virtio-forwarder VNIC type
* This patch adds the necessary metadata for Nova to provide plugging
  for the external Agilio OVS ML2 and OS-VIF plugins.

  * A VIF type for Agilio OVS is added: this is used by the external
    ML2/mechanism plugin to trigger Nova to call the external OS-VIF
    plugin.

  * A virtio-forwarder VNIC type is added. This corresponds to a
    low-latency vhost-user forwarding process connecting an accelerated
    VF to a VM. This VNIC type is not intended to be specific to
    Agilio OVS.

  * The necessary end-to-end implementation has been verified, with the
    external plugin hosted at:
    https://github.com/Netronome/agilio-ovs-openstack-plugin

portbindings. This links the external Neutron plugin to the external
OS-VIF plugin in Nova.
