Harald Jensås e644e3dda9 Add MTU to neutron networks and nic-config templates
Neutron has support[1] to set the guaranteed MTU for
networks and network segments so that this is exposed
to plug-ins. In interest of supporting the use of
plug-ins to configure network devices in the future
this change adds MTU property on neutron networks.

The new (optional) property 'mtu' in the network
defenitions in 'network_data.yaml' is used to control
the MTU settings. By default the mtu is '1500'.

We already configure the MTU on the ctlplane neutron
networks, this adds the MTU to composable networks.

Also update the nic-config sample templates to include
mtu settings. A heat value resource is added to
nic-config templates to get the required minimum
viable MTU value for bridges, bonds and member
interfaces to ensure the MTU is large enough to allow
the largest configured MTU to traverse the path.

features:
- |
The network data for composible networks have been extended to enable
configuration of the maximum transmission unit (MTU) that is guaranteed to
pass through the data path of the segments in the network. The MTU property
is set on the neutron networks in the undercloud. The MTU information
is used in the nic-config templates so that overcloud node networking is
configured with the correct MTU settings.
upgrade:
- |
Prior to upgrading any custom nic-config templates must have the MTU
associated parameters introduced in this release added. As an example the
following must be added to all nic-config templates when network isolation
is used::
ControlPlaneMtu:
default: 1500
description: The maximum transmission unit (MTU) size(in bytes) that is
guaranteed to pass through the data path of the segments in the network.
(The parameter is automatically resolved from the ctlplane network's mtu attribute.)
