Add a new ovs agent extension to support distributed DHCP for VMs in compute nodes directly. For large scale deployment, this can be used to reduce the number of neutron agents. Large scale cloud can benefit from it. From the perspective of virtual machine, this will reduce the probability of DHCP request failure. The VMs will get a higher level availability for DHCP R/R, no single point of failure permanently. If one host goes down, VMs in other hosts will not be influnced by it. For the perspective of network performance, after using this extension, the DHCP broadcasting packages will be limited to the host locally.
