This patch is an enhancement to the existing L3 Agent. This allows the L3 Agent to support distributed routers by enhancing the router object to function across multiple nodes. Utilized two new types of namespaces: - FIP to handle multiple VM fips and routers per node - SNAT to handle centralized SNAT per router Rules and tables are enhanced and added to support routing across distributed routers without going to a centralized router. Finally, a new configuration param 'agent_mode' is introduced and it controls what the L3 agent can do: the available values are: 'legacy', 'dvr', 'dvr_snat' (more details inline). The l3-scheduler uses the newly introduced agent_mode to determine what L3 agent to select during the scheduling process.
