Ihar Hrachyshka 4955746bbf Deprecate advertise_mtu option
Now that we advertise MTU via DHCP and RA by default, there is no reason
to keep the option available for configuration. Other agents/plugins are
also encouraged to advertise MTU values to instances by their own means.

DocImpact: mark the advertise_mtu option as deprecated as of Newton.

deprecations:
- The 'advertise_mtu' option is deprecated and will be removed in Ocata.
There should be no use case to disable the feature, hence the option is
considered redundant. DHCP and L3 agents will continue advertising MTU
values to instances. Other plugins not using those agents are also
encouraged to advertise MTU to instances. The actual implementation of MTU
advertisement depends on the plugin in use, but it's assumed that at least
DHCP option for IPv4 clients and Router Advertisements for IPv6 clients is
supported.
