L3 Agent restart causes network outage

When a L3 agent controlling multiple qrouter namespaces
restarts, it destroys all qrouter namespaces even if
some of them are still in use.  As a result, network
traffic could be stopped on the VMs that use the
networks associated with these namespaces.

So what is needed is for the L3 agent to preserve those
qrouter namespaces a L3 agent instance recognizes and to
destroy those it does not know about.

Add support to request vnic type on port

This patch adds support for requested vnic_type to be plugged to neutron port to ML2 plugin.
This patch contains:
1. New attribute 'binding:vnic_type' added to port binding extension.
   Possible values are 'direct', 'macvtap' and 'normal'.
   'binding:vnic_type' is allowed to be defined on port creation or changed
   on port update by admin or tenant user.
   'binding:vnic_type' can be also skipped in port defintion
2. Management of vnic_type by ML2 plugin, assuming default
vnic_type=normal
3. Add 'vnic_type' to ml2_port_bindings DB table
4. Add supported vnic_types for MechanismDrivers that are capable to bind
port.
5. Add DB migration script for ml2_vnic_type.

DocImpact: Need to update portbindings API docs and include in SR-IOV user docs

Plugins should call __init__ of db_base_plugin for db.configure

Currently each plugin calls db.configure() within the plugin's __init__
class or defines an initialize() method that's sole job is to call this
method. Instead we should just call the super method of a plugin so that
db.configure() is called for us out of the db_base_plugin class.

Note: the only reason why I'm making this change is that I want to add
something to the __init__() class of the db_base_plugin that's needed for
the nova-event-callback blueprint and adding it in the base class of init
looks to be the best place.
