Fernando Royo b2e14b23f3 Add constant to identify OVN LB HM ports
OVN metadata and OVN LB HM port (used for health checks) are both
using network:distributed in the device_owner field. Some tasks
in Neutron search by that value, considering just one port will
exist per network with that value.

This patch adds a new constant to differentiate OVN metadata ports
from the OVN LB HM ones. The latter will use a device_owner
of ovn-lb-hm:distributed to be different but will still receive the
treatment of a localport in the OVN NB DB.

The new value for 'device_owner' for OVN loadbalancer health monitor ports
(ovn-lb-hm:distributed) is now supported by Neutron, providing a LOCALPORT
behavior to these ports. The responsibility to define these ports with the
new value instead of the old one (network:distributed) is under the
OVN-Octavia Provider driver, which will take care of database conversion
for these ports.
