    [Docs] Add info about vlan transparent networks' MTU
    
    MTU configured inside instances which are connected to the networks
    with enabled transparent vlan needs to have MTU set to 4 bytes less
    than it is provided by DHCP to make space for additional vlan
    header.
    This is required only if instance will have some vlan tagged interfaces
    configured.

Title:
  MTU for networks with enabled vlan transparency should be 4 bytes
  lower

Status in neutron:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  For networks when VLAN transparency is enabled, mtu value returned by get_mtu should be lower by 4 bytes to make space for that additional vlan tag which is added by the VM.
  The problem here is that get_mtu() method in the type drivers currently only gets physical_network as parameter so there is no way to check if network has or hasn't got vlan_transparency enabled.
