Add VXLAN and LISP Support to the Open vSwitch Plugin
This blueprint tracks the addition of VXLAN and LISP tunnel support into the Open vSwitch plugin. VXLAN and LISP support will be a part of Open vSwitch 1.10.0 when it is released, so adding the option to have the OVS Quantum Plugin support VXLAN and LISP in addition to GRE tunnels will be nice for people wanting to make use of additional tunneling protocols, especially a pure L3 tunneling protocol like LISP.
Configuration for VXLAN on OVS can be found here (search for VXLAN):1

Configuration is the same as for GRE, except the VNI for VXLAN is 24-bit.

This commit adds support for utilizing the VXLAN tunneling protocol in versions of Open vSwitch >= 1.10. This is configurable and will default to GRE if not configured.
