Edan David 2c8f61b816 Adding FDB population agent extension
The purpose of this extension is updating the FDB table upon changes of
normal port instances thus enabling communication between direct port
SR-IOV instances and normal port instances.
Additionally enabling communication to direct port
instances with floating ips.
Support for OVS agent and linux bridge.

fixes:
- In order to fix the communication issues between
SR-IOV instances and regular instances
the FDB population extension is added to the
OVS or linuxbridge agent.
the cause was that messages from SR-IOV direct port
instance to normal port instances located on
the same hypervisor were sent directly to the wire
because the FDB table was not yet updated.
FDB population extension tracks instances
boot/delete operations using the handle_port
delete_port extension interface messages
and update the hypervisor's FDB table accordingly.
Please note this L2 agent extension doesn't support
allowed address pairs extension.
