Bug description:
  We have a customer bug report downstream [1] where nova occasionally
  fails to carry out server actions requiring calls to neutron API if
  haproxy happens to close a connection after idle time of 10 seconds at
  nearly the same time as an incoming request that attempts to re-use
  the connection while it is being torn down. Here is an excerpt from
  [1]:

   The result of our investigation, the cause is follows.

   1. neutron-client in nova uses connection pool ( urllib3/requests )
  for http.

   2. Sometimes, http connection is reused for different requests.

   3. Connection between neutron-client and haproxy is closed from
  haproxy when it is in idle for 10 seconds.

   4. If reusing connection from client side and closing connection from haproxy side are happend almost same time,
      client gets RST and end with "bad status line".

  To address this problem, we can add a new config option for neutron
  client (similar to the existing config options we have for cinder
  client and glance client retries) to be more resilient during such
  scenarios.
