Bug Description

BPGPVN supports lots of use cases which are not supported by different backends. Today only way for drivers to reject an unsupported use cases is to error in postcommit, at times after contacting backend, and revert db changes. This adds unnecessary performance overhead.

BGPVPN should provide precommit methods to allow such validations before data is persisted in DB.

I think the only place where code need to be added is BGPVPNDriverDBMixin (+ unit tests).

The most obvious precommit methods we should provide to drivers relate to bgpvpn_create/update methods. Is there any other DB related methods that need precommit hook?

when/if we add attributes to Network/Router associations, we may need pre_commit for these as well
additionally, a driver may support some BGPVPN parameters used for a Network association, but not for a Router association, or vice-versa

so I think we should add precommit for x_association_create/update

    Add precommit to the driver create/update_bgpvpn API

    With precommits, bgpvpn drivers will be able to block any change
    that a REST request wants to apply to the DB with create/update_bgpvpn.

    If the driver raises an exception during its precommit method,
    the REST client will have a HTTP 500 error, and nothing will be
    commited in the DB.
