Bence Romsics 22d1a26d1d Neutron port hints
Introduce the hints port attribute that allows passing in backend
specific hints mainly to allow backend specific performance tuning.

Enable:
  openstack port create --hint ALIAS=VALUE
  openstack port set --hint ALIAS=VALUE
  openstack port unset --hints

Required neutron extension:
  port-hints
  port-hint-ovs-tx-steering

Valid hint aliases and values:
  ovs-tx-steering=hash
  ovs-tx-steering=thread

The same hints in JSON format, as expected by the Neutron API:
  {"openvswitch": {"other_config": {"tx-steering": "hash"}}}
  {"openvswitch": {"other_config": {"tx-steering": "thread"}}}

Enable management of Neutron port hints: ``port create --hint HINT``,
``set port --hint HINT and ``unset port --hint``. Port hints allow
passing backend specific hints to Neutron mainly to tune backend
performance. The first hint controls Open vSwitch Tx steering.
