expose the ability to set the mtu for container networks

[Kevin Carter]

Container networks should have the ability to allow the MTU to be set. This can be exposed within the https://github.com/stackforge/os-ansible-deployment/blob/master/playbooks/roles/lxc_container_create/templates/container-interface.ini.j2 template if the `item.value.mtu` value is set.

Example syntax add:

{% if item.value.mtu is defined %}
lxc.network.mtu = {{ item.value.mtu }}
{% endif %}

This will give a deployer the ability to select and set the MTU for a given interface type which would be useful in L3 and storage network scenarios.

    Change to set the container network MTU

    This change adds the container network MTU option within the container
    network LXC config file. This will allow a deployer to set the MTU within
    a provider networks entry in openstack_user_config.yml.

    Example:

      ....
      provider_networks:
        - network:
            container_bridge: "br-storage"
            container_type: "veth"
            container_interface: "eth2"
            ip_from_q: "storage"
            type: "raw"
            container_mtu: "9000"
            group_binds:
              - glance_api
              - cinder_api
              - cinder_volume
              - nova_compute
              - swift_proxy

    This changes gives the deployer the ability to selectively set the mtu as
    needed.

    The dynamic_inventory.py script has been updated to allow for the MTU entry.

    Example file documentation has been added to show how to use this new setting.
