Kevin Benton ae45cd5732 Add global_physnet_mtu and deprecate segment_mtu
Introduce the neutron-wide 'global_physnet_mtu' option that
references the underlying physical network MTU. This also
introduces a method in plugin.common.utils that all plugins
should use to retrieve it. This value should be used to
calculate the proper MTU for virtual network components.

This patch also deprecate the 'segment_mtu' option specific
to the ML2 plug-in and makes ML2 reference this new option.

deprecations:
- The 'segment_mtu' option of the ML2 configuration has been
deprecated and replaced with the 'global_physnet_mtu' option
in the main Neutron configuration. This option is meant to
be used by all plugins for an operator to reference their
physical network's MTU, regardless of the backend plugin.
Plugins should access this config option via the
'get_deployment_physnet_mtu' method added to
neutron.plugins.common.utils to avoid being broken on any
potential renames in the future.
