Rodolfo Alonso Hernandez 3ebdfe612a Support for minimum bandwidth rules in tunnelled networks
This patch adds support for QoS minimum bandwidth rules in tunnelled
networks. Now the ML2/OVS and ML2/OVN mechanism drivers can represent
in the Placement API the available bandwidth of the tunnelled networks
in each compute host.

Both mechanism drivers represent the compute VTEP (VXLAN) or TEP
(Geneve) interface as an IP address. This new resource provider
(by default called "rp_tunnelled") represents the available bandwidth
of this interface. Any new port created in a compute node that belongs
to a tunnelled network, will request to the Placement API the
corresponding bandwidth from the resource provider inventory.

This patch does not provide backend enforcement support for minimum
bandwidth rules.

What is missing and will be added in next patches:
* Tempest tests, that will be pushed to the corresponding repository.

ML2/OVS and ML2/OVN now support modelling tunnelled networks in the
Placement API. The "tunnelled_network_rp_name" configuration option
defines the resource provider name used to represent all tunnelled
networks in a compute node (by default "rp_tunnelled"). If this string
is present in the "resource_provider_bandwidths" dictionary, the
corresponding mechanism driver will create a resource provider for
the overlay traffic.
