Allow to use several nics for physnet with SR-IOV
Accordind specs and docs, SRIOV_NIC.physical_device_mappings is not
limited to be a 1-1 mapping between physnets and NICs. However,
implementation requires this. This bugfix unlocks 1-M mappings, so one
physnet could be managed by many NICs.

* introduced unique_keys in neutron.utils.parse_mappings
* SRIOV_NIC.physical_device_mappings is parsed as dict with lists as
  values with parse_mappings(..., unique_keys=False)

Several NICs per physical network can be used with SR-IOV.
fixes:
- The 'physical_device_mappings' of sriov_nic configuration now can accept
more than one NIC per physical network. For example, if 'physnet2' is
connected to enp1s0f0 and enp1s0f1, 'physnet2:enp1s0f0,physnet2:enp1s0f1'
will be a valid option.
