Before this change, the vrouter VIF type used legacy VIF plugging. This
changeset ports the plugging methods over to an external os-vif plugin,
simplifying the in-tree code.
Miscellaneous notes:
* There are two "vrouter" Neutron VIF types:
* "contrail_vrouter" supporting vhostuser plugging, and
* "vrouter", supporting kernel datapath plugging.
* The VIFGeneric os-vif type is used for the kernel TAP based
plugging when the vnic_type is 'normal'.
* For multiqueue support, the minimum version of libvirt 1.3.1 is
required. In that case, libvirt creates the TAP device, rather than
the os-vif plugin. (This is the minimum version for Rocky and later)
