    libvirt: adding a random number generator device to instances

    In order for the virtio-rng device to be added to KVM instance,
    hw_rng=virtio property should be set in Glance image metadata:

    glance image-update \
           --property hw_rng_model=virtio \
           [image]

    The cloud administrator will have the option to limit
    or disable the use of this device by setting the following flavour
    extra_specs:

    hw_rng:allowed=True - Allow virtio-rng to be added to instances.
    hw_rng:rate_bytes - The allowed amount of bytes for the the guest
                        to read from the host’s entropy per period.
    hw_rng:rate_period - Sets the duration of a read period in seconds.

    Partially implements blueprint libvirt-rng-device

Have to wait for https://review.openstack.org/#/c/87163/ to merge before this can be easily added. Formatting was completely changed by that one for customizing flavors.
