Ryan Tidwell c613ede9fa Floating IP for routed networks: network:routed API
This change is needed for enabling floating IP's on routed networks.
To be able to create a subnet that spans all segments of a routed network,
a special subnet service type of 'network:routed' is used to denote a
network that can span all segments of a routed network.

To create floating IP's on a routed network, the subnet must be created
with a service_type of 'network:routed'. After the subnet has been
created, floating IP's can be allocated and associated as before.
See the design spec https://review.opendev.org/#/c/486450/ for
reference.

One caveat for this approach is that it requires the underlying
infrastructure to be aware of and able to route /32 host routes
for the floating IP. This implies that in practice, use of the
'network:routed' service type should be done in conjunction with
one or both of the following:

1. Third-party SDN backend that handles this service type in its
   own way
2. neutron-dynamic-routing and the BGP service plugin for announcing
   the appropriate next-hops for floating IP's. This is compatible
   with DVR and non-DVR environments.
