quantum-metadata-agent does not appear in Neutron's agent list output

Description

"quantum agent-list" command maps Neutron-related agents to machine and reports their status.
I would expect the quantum-metadata-agent to appear in that output however that's not the case.

Metadata agent is not a subject for scheduling so it doesn't report it's state, hence it is not listed in the output.
It's an intended behavior.

[Rami Vaknin (rvaknin)]

I understand that dhcp and l3 can be colocated hence this agents table is needed for scheduling, do ovs agents can also colocated on the same machine?
In addition, I think that the status report is much more important user-wise so it's a good reason to add other neutron-related agents to this table/list.

I think it is better we have metadata-agent in agent-list. It is not integrated yet.
