Hyper-V SR-IOV support

Registered by Claudiu Belu

Windows / Hyper-V Server 2012 introduced support for networking SR-IOV, and it can be implemented into the nova Hyper-V driver.

In order to implement this feature, os-win will have to expose a few methods:

- get information about the available SR-IOV capable NICs on the host.
- assign a NIC VF to a VM.

The nova Hyper-V driver will report its available SR-IOV VF details as PCI passthrough devices,having the dev_type fields.PciDeviceType.SRIOV_VF, while the nova PCI device manager will filter out PCI devices based on the "passthrough_whitelist" config option.

Approved for Pike as a specless feature parity blueprint. -- mriedem 20170413

There are no changes up for review for this and I'm going to make room for other things that are ready for review in the Pike release, so I'm deferring this to Queens. -- mriedem 20170722
