Lajos Katona 061a77b4f2 Introduce Port resource request extension
The resources needed by a port are expressed to nova via
resource_request extending the port.
If the port requested by nova boot has resource_request attribute, that
means that placement must enforce the minimum bandwidth requirements.

features:
- The new extension ``port-resource-request`` adds the ``resource_request``
attribute to port responses. This attribute enables Neutron to communicate
to Nova resources needed by the port, such as physnet, VNIC type and
bandwidth. If the port requested by Nova boot has the ``resource_request``
attribute, then the Nova Scheduler will try to allocate the VM in a host
that can satisfy those requirements.
