ML2 plugin traffic-protection API extension support

Registered by Zhou Yu

add support in the ML2 plugin for traffic-protection.

A traffic storm occurs when a large amount of broadcast, multicast,or unknow unicast packets congest a network . It leads to exssive cpu and network cost, and some security problems, so most physical switches offer many traffic protection functions,such as broadcast-suppression,storm control,arp anti-attack rate-limit. Neutron also need this ability in complex real-world data centers.
