FWaaS changes to support Distributed Virtual Router(DVR)

Registered by Sridar Kandaswamy

The DVR model breaks basic FWaaS implementation as FWaaS relies on seeing both directions of traffic (stageful) at the router programmed with Firewall rules. DVR by design distributes routing across compute nodes to achieve scalability and this has unfavorable consequences for FWaaS. The first step is to at least ensure that we have an L3 Perimeter Firewall working for the North-South traffic use case.
