Backport a support of VMXnet3 NIC into Nova

[Andrey Danin]

Affected version: MOS 5.1.1, 6.0, 6.1.
VMware has a paravirtual network device called VMXnet3. It's supported by many operating systems and works pretty well (up to 10Gb/s). The only reason why Mirantis OpenStack doesn't support it is because there is no such type in a NIC type constant in Nova. This constant was added into Kilo https://review.openstack.org/#/c/166599

We have a customer who wants this feature in 6.1. So, I propose to backport this simple fix.
We also have a blueprint about that https://blueprints.launchpad.net/fuel/+spec/vmxnet3-vnic-support

Andrey is testing the back port. If he finishes testing today, we'll merge the patch. Otherwise, fixing of this will be postponed.
