    Add support for virtio-forwarder VNIC type
    
      * This patch adds support for the virtio-forwarder VNIC type.
      * The virtio-forwarder VNIC type has been added as another option for
        setting the "binding:vnic_type" property on a port. This requests a
        low-latency virtio port inside the instance, likely backed by hardware
        acceleration.
      * The documentation for OPENSTACK_NEUTRON_NETWORK/supported_vnic_types
        has been updated to clarify the term "supported VNIC types".
        Unfortunately, the VNIC binding happens at scheduling and error
        reporting in core Nova and Neutron is not optimal in this case.
      * Corresponding python-openstackclient change:

    * The virtio-forwarder VNIC type has been added as another option for
      setting the "binding:vnic_type" property on a port. This requests a
      low-latency virtio port inside the instance, likely backed by hardware
      acceleration and requires a supporting Neutron plugin.
