ovn: Support a new Logical_Switch_Port.type - 'external'

In the case of OpenStack + OVN, when the VMs are booted on hypervisors supporting SR-IOV nics, there are no OVS ports for these VMs. When these VMs sends DHCPv4, DHPCv6 or IPv6 Router Solicitation requests, the local ovn-controller cannot reply to these packets. OpenStack Neutron dhcp agent service needs to be run to serve these requests. With the new logical port type - 'external', OVN itself can handle these requests avoiding the need to deploy any external services like neutron dhcp agent. To make use of this feature, CMS has to - create a logical port for such VMs - set the type to 'external' - create an HA chassis group and associate the logical port to it or associate an already existing HA chassis group. - create a localnet port for the logical switch - configure the ovn-bridge-mappings option in the OVS db. HA chassis with the highest priority becomes the master of the HA chassis group and the ovn-controller running in that 'chassis', claims the Port_Binding for that logical port and it adds the necessary DHCPv4/v6 OF flows. Since the packet enters the logical switch pipeline via the localnet port, the inport register (reg14) is set to the tunnel key of localnet port in the match conditions. In case the chassis goes down for some reason, next higher priority HA chassis becomes the master and claims the port. When the VM with the external port, sends an ARP request for the router ips, only the chassis which has claimed the port, will reply to the ARP requests. Rest of the chassis on receiving these packets drop them in the ingress switch datapath stage - S_SWITCH_IN_EXTERNAL_PORT which is just before S_SWITCH_IN_L2_LKUP. This would guarantee that only the chassis which has claimed the external ports will run the router datapath pipeline.
