radvd needs to run as root, but has the capability to drop privileges on
linux hosts. Currently, radvd process is not using this feature and
this can be considered a serious risk.
In addition, some distributions like SUSE, radvd process runs as a non
privileged user by default, causing radvd failure to daemonize
because it can't write the pid in the corresponding neutron folder and
break the IPv6 functionality.
This patch allows radvd process to run with the same user used by
neutron. In order to allow this, it changes the radvd config file
permissions to 444 because radvd doesn't allow that this file can be
writeable by self/group. The readonly mode is not a problem updating the
file because of the way the neutron_lib replace_file function handles
the files operations.
