Rodolfo Alonso Hernandez 6ec7ba8695 Add radvd_user config option
In some deployments, the "neutron" user does not have the permissions
to modify the kernel interfaces. In those cases the radvd user should
be defined. This patch introduces a new config option: "radvd_user".

This config option is the username passed to radvd, used to drop root
privileges and change user ID to username and group ID to the primary
group of username. If no user specified (by default is an empty string),
the user executing the L3 agent will be passed. If "root" specified,
because radvd is spawned as root, no "username" parameter will be
passed.

A new config option, ``radvd_user``, was added to l3_agent.ini for the L3
agent. This option defines the username passed to radvd, used to drop
"root" privileges and change user ID to username and group ID to the
primary group of the user. If no user specified (by default), the user
executing the L3 agent will be passed. If "root" specified, because radvd
is spawned as root, no "username" parameter will be passed.
