Title:
  Deprecate vxlan_group option from lb_agent and retrieve configuration
  from type driver instead

Status in neutron:
  Expired

Bug description:
  The vxlan group to be used with the linuxbridge agent can be configured via the linuxbridge agent configuration file [1].
  [vxlan]
  vxlan_group = 224.0.0.1


  However there is a similar option in the vxlan type driver [2]
  [ml2_type_vxlan]
  vxlan_group = <None>


  The linuxbridge agent configuration should be deprecated (be careful
  about backwardscompatibility) and the type driver option to e used
  instead. Therefore the linuxbridge agent should make an rpc call to
  the plugin to retrieve this kind of information. This way the
  configuration is stored once in the server, and not multiple times
  distributed over all linuxbridge nodes (which is error prone). More
  details see the discussion on patchset [3]
