Public bug reported:

During the Liberty cycle a consensus was reached within the neutron l3
subteam that the existing method for setting default subnetpools in
neutron.conf was not working as well as it could.

As an admin, I want to be able to set the default subnetpool via the
neutron API, and without the need to restart services for the change to
take effect.

The proposed solution is to add a new boolean 'is_default' field to the
subnetpool object. This field will be False by default, configurable
only by the admin, and initially can only be True for one subnetpool in
each IP family. Future work could allow multiple defaults once RBAC is
implemented for subnetpools.

This change will greatly improve the default subnetpool workflow for
admins, as well as exposing information about the default subnetpool to
users.
