libvirt: Delegate OVS plug to os-vif

os-vif 1.15.0 added the ability to create an OVS port during plugging
by specifying the 'create_port' attribute in the 'port_profile' field.
By delegating port creation to os-vif, we can rely on it's 'isolate_vif'
config option [1] that will temporarily configure the VLAN to 4095
(0xfff), which is reserved for implementation use [2] and is used by
neutron to as a dead VLAN [3]. By doing this, we ensure VIFs are plugged
securely, preventing guests from accessing other tenants' networks
before the neutron OVS agent can wire up the port.

This change requires a little dance as part of the live migration flow.
Since we can't be certain the destination host has a version of os-vif
that supports this feature, we need to use a sentinel to indicate when
it does. Typically we would do so with a field in
'LibvirtLiveMigrateData', such as the 'src_supports_numa_live_migration'
and 'dst_supports_numa_live_migration' fields used to indicate support
for NUMA-aware live migration. However, doing this prevents us
backporting this important fix since o.vo changes are not backportable.
Instead, we (somewhat evilly) rely on the free-form nature of the
'VIFMigrateData.profile_json' string field, which stores JSON blobs and
is included in 'LibvirtLiveMigrateData' via the 'vifs' attribute, to
transport this sentinel. This is a hack but is necessary to work around
the lack of a free-form "capabilities" style dict that would allow us do
backportable fixes to live migration features.

Note that this change has the knock on effect of modifying the XML
generated for OVS ports: when hybrid plug is false will now be of type
'ethernet' rather than 'bridge' as before. This explains the larger than
expected test damage but should not affect users.
