VIF-plugging for Linuxnet Code

Registered by dan wendlandt

In Diablo-3 we introduced "vif-plugging" to the hypervisor "virt" layer, allowing flexibility in how vNICs are attached to the network switch. This allowed non-linux bridge switch technologies (e.g., Open vSwitch, 802.1qbh) to be used with nova.

This blueprint adds that same capability to the Linuxnet, allowing the L3/DHCP capabilities to be "plugged" into Quantum networks.
