Add support for "igb" VIF model
qemu now supports a network driver called "igb" that simulates SR-IOV VFs[1]. Current versions of most OS distributions now include a version of qemu with this driver included.
We would like to use that in the OpenStack gates to test SR-IOV functionality in Octavia.
Currently nova does not allow the "igb" driver to be specified using "hw_vif_model=igb" because it is not on the list of valid VIF_MODELS here:

This RFE is a request to add support for the igb driver to nova.
