Miguel Lavalle 7f0413c84c Implement experimental features framework
During the Zed PTG it was decided to handle unsupported features in
Neutron as experimental. See section titled "When we say something is
not supported?", day 2 in [1]. The agreement was:

"We keep existing jobs for linuxbridge driver for example, but when the
tests start to fail we skip them and finally we stop the job also.
To make it clear for operators we add warning logs highlighting that the
given feature/driver is experimental, and introduce cfg option to enable
such features explicitly."

This commit implements this agreement, initially with Linuxbridge

Introduce the experimental features framework.
features:
- |
Some Neutron features are not supported due to lack of resources or
technical expertise to maintain them. As they arise, those features will
be marked as experimental by the Neutron core team.
Deployers will be able to continue using experimental features by
explicitly enabling them in the 'experimental' section of neutron.conf.
The ML2 linuxbridge driver is the first feature to be marked as
experimental. To continue using it, deployers have to set to True the
'linuxbridge' option in the 'experimental' section of neutron.conf.
deprecations:
- |
The ML2 linuxbridge agent has been marked as experimental due to lack
of resources to maintain it. To continue using it, deployers have to set
to True the 'linuxbridge' option in the 'experimental' section of
neutron.conf
