Code Issues Proposed changes

adds support for vhost user reconnect.

Browse Source 
- vhost-user reconnect is a new feature added
  in dpdk 16.07 and qemu 2.7.
- vhost-user reconnect allows VMs using vhost-user
  interfaces to reconnect to the vhost-user backend if
  the backend terminates either as a result of a graceful
  shutdown or a crash with out requiring the vm to reboot.
- vhost-user reconnect requires qemu to be the vhost-user server
  and ovs to be the client.
- dpdk prior to 16.07 only supports qemu client/ dpdk server mode.
- This change extends the ovs mech driver to select the correct qemu
  vhost user socket mode based on the available interface types
  reported by the agent.

features:
- vhost-user reconnect is a mechanism which allows
a vhost-user frontend to reconnect to a vhost-user
backend in the event the backend terminates.
This enable a VM utilising a vhost-user interface
to reconnect automatically to the backend e.g.
a vSwitch without requiring the VM to reboot.
In this release, support was added to the neutron
Open vSwitch agent and ml2 driver for vhost-user
reconnect.
other:
- vhost-user reconnect allows VMs using vhost-user
interfaces to reconnect to the vhost-user backend if
the backend terminates either as a result of a graceful
shutdown or a crash without requiring the VM to reboot.
- vhost-user reconnect requires dpdk 16.07 and qemu 2.7
and ovs 2.6 to function. if an older qemu is used,
reconnect will not be available but vhost-user will
still function.
