Jiri Kotlin 8a596f35bb VXLAN multicast groups in linuxbridge
Enable creation of VXLANs with different multicast addresses allocated
by VNI-address mappings. Dictionary of multicast addresses and
corresponding VXLAN VNI IDs should be loaded from settings. Usable to
not flood whole network when managing routers between more datacenters
and can not use L2population because VXLAN points to external device.

Enable creation of VXLANs with different multicast
addresses allocated by VNI-address mappings.
features:
- The ability to control vni-multicast address
distribution in linuxbridge agent via new config
option - multicast_ranges.
other:
- Example configuration of `multicast_ranges` in
ml2_conf.ini under the `[vxlan]` config. section
multicast_ranges = 224.0.0.10:10:90,225.0.0.15:100:900
For VNI between 10 and 90, the multicast address
224.0.0.0.10 will be used, and for 100 through 900
225.0.0.15 will be used. Other VNI values will get
standard `vxlan_group` address. For more info see RFE
