Public bug reported:

ATM neutron does allow to configure MTU for networks to reflect
underlying infrastructure, but only to operators, and only by changing
configuration options.

Ideally, users would be allowed to modify MTU for networks (to simplify
matters, on creation only, though we can also look at resource updates)
to accommodate for custom workloads relying on specific MTUs. Or maybe
sometimes users want to get consistent MTUs across all their networks
instead of having different MTUs based on network type backing their
networks. Both of those use cases would be served by allowing PUT for
'mtu' network attribute.

I guess it will require a fake extension to signal the change in
behavior, even while the implementation may still lay in existing plugin
code handling MTUs.
