Jan Gutter 777ea9494e Add support for VIFPortProfileOVSRepresentor

* This patch adds support for a VF representor port profile,
  specifically supporting OVS. If representor_name is set, the os-vif
  plugin is requested to rename the representor to that.

* Some VIF types already have a VF associated with them. In that case,
  the PCI dev_address should copied to the VIF port profile subclassed
  object's representor_address for use by os-vif plug/unplug. The
  hypervisor will still use the VIF's dev_address for instance spawning.

 features:
   - A new port profile has been added to describe VF representors on OVS-based
     switches, as featured in Linux kernel 4.8 and later. This port profile can
     currently be used with Agilio OVS networks. It is intended to be flexible
     enough to be used by multiple vendors.
