Title:
  [OVN] Lacking mechanism to provide proper MTU to instances

Status in neutron:
  New

Bug description:
  Virtual networks using an overlay protocol such as GENEVE include
  overhead that reduces the effective MTU for an instance. By default,
  network interfaces in an instance use a 1500 MTU. If the physical
  network also uses a 1500 MTU, an instance cannot send a packet using a
  1500 MTU due to overlay protocol overhead. Neutron offers a net-mtu
  extension that provides a field indicating MTU for a particular
  network. In the ML2 plug-in, this value accounts for the amount of
  overhead via type driver. The DHCP agent can provide this value to
  instances. The OVN plug-in needs a mechanism for indicating a proper
  MTU value that accounts for any overlay protocol overhead. Similar to
  ML2, the conventional DHCP agent can provide this value, but OVN also
  needs to consider the implications with a native DHCP agent.
