Salvatore Orlando 3046c4ae22 Improve handling of security group updates
Currently updates to security group rules or membership
are handled by immediately triggering a call to refresh_firewall.
This call is quite expensive, and it is often executed with a
very high frequency.

With this patch, the notification handler simply adds devices for
which the firewall should be refreshed to a set, which will then
be processed in another routine. The latter is supposed to
be called in the main agent loop.

This patch for 'provider updates' simply sets a flag for refreshing
the firewall for all devices.

In order to avoid breaking other agents leveraging the security
group RPC mixin, the reactive behaviour is still available, and is
still the default way of handling security group updates.

Partial-Bug: #1253993
Partially implements blueprint: neutron-tempest-parallel
