Vladyslav Drok 8856ad31a0 Generate necessary network metadata for ironic port groups
In ironic it is now possible to attach neutron ports to ironic port
groups. To configure them on the instance side, we need to pass the
information about them to the configdrive, which is then read by
cloud-init.

This patch amends the network metadata generated by nova because:

* neutron port's MAC can be changed by ironic during attach call,
  metadata needs to contain an up-to-date address;

* metadata needs to include additional information about the port
  group, such as it's mode and any properties set on ironic side;

* metadata needs to contain information about ports that belong to the
  selected port group.

Updates the network metadata that is passed to configdrive by the Ironic
virt driver. The metadata now includes network information about port
groups and their associated ports. It will be used to configure port
groups on the baremetal instance side.
