Subject: [PATCH] Add new DEFAULT option named "my_ip"
Add a new parameter in config named "my_ip".
The default value for my_ip will be the IPv4 of the interface used for
default gateway.
This new option is not used for now in any neutron code, but may be
used by operators to configure other options (like local_ip,
ovsdb_connection, etc.).

+ Add a new config option in DEFAULT section named ``my_ip``.
+ This new config option will be set by default to the local IPv4 configured
+ to reach the default gateway.
+ This new setting might be useful for operators that need to configure this
+ IP in another part of their config (like OVS/local_ip) without relying on
+ any external templating system.
