Lucas Alvares Gomes d669dff1dc [OVN] Add support for router availability zones
This patch is adding support for the router_availability_zone extension
for Neutron.

The OVN driver will now read from the router's availability_zone_hints
field and schedule the router ports onto OVN chassis belonging to those
AZs.

Since the OVN driver does not rely on the L3 agent, this patch does not
re-use the configuration option for the agent to configure the
availability zone that a Chassis belongs to (even because there's no
configuration file in nodes such as networker nodes). Instead, this
patch reuses the "ovn-cms-options" field from the local OVSDB to
configure the Chassis. The follow syntax has been used:

$ ovs-vsctl set Open_VSwitch .
external-ids:ovn-cms-options="enable-chassis-as-gw,availability-zones=az0:az1"

In the example above, the Chassis has been configured to belong to two
AZs: "az0" and "az1".

This patch also implements listing the availability zones:
$ openstack availability zone list

As well as validating the router's availability zone hints:
$ openstack router create --availability-zone-hint az0
--availability-zone-hint az1 test_router

The above command would fail if there's no "az0" and "az1" configured in
any OVN chassis.

Documentation for this feature is being written and will be submitted
in a separated patch.

Added support for router availability zones in OVN. The OVN driver
can now read from the router's availability_zone_hints field and
schedule router ports accordingly with the given availability zones.
