Gabriel Adrian Samfira 07b6580a16 Adds Hyper-V OVS ViF driver
This branch adds a new ViF driver to the Nova Hyper-V compute driver.
It's responsible for creating the OVS port and the related association
with the Hyper-V virtual switch port. Aside from the openvswitch binaries
it has no other dependencies. Flow rules are added by an external agent
such as OpenDaylight or by a Neutron OVS agent.

The new VIF driver is using os-vif in order to create the OVS ports.

features:
- The nova Hyper-V driver can now plug OVS VIFs. This means that
neutron-ovs-agent can be used as an L2 agent instead of
neutron-hyperv-agent.
In order to plug OVS VIFs, the configuration option "vswitch_name"
from the "hyperv" section must be set to the vSwitch which has the OVS
extension enabled.
Hot-plugging is only supported on Windows / Hyper-V Server 2016 + Generation 2 VMs.
Older Hyper-V versions only support attaching vNICs while the VM is turned off.
