Add support for virtio-forwarder VNIC type
* This patch adds support for the virtio-forwarder VNIC type.
* The virtio-forwarder VNIC type has been added as another option for
setting the --vnic-type property on the "port set" and
"port create" commands. This requests a low-latency virtio port inside
the instance, likely backed by hardware acceleration. Currently the
Agilio OVS external plugin provides support for this, with support from
other vendors following soon.
* Corresponding neutron-lib change:
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/483530/
* Nova spec for Agilio OVS enablement:
