When SR-IOV introduce in Juno Agent supported only link state change
Some Intel cards don't support setting link state, so to
resolve it the SR-IOV mech driver support agent and agent less mode.
From Liberty the SR-IOV agent brings more functionality like
qos and port security so we decided with install to make the agent mandatory

This patch deprecates the agent_required in Liberty
and updates the agent_required default to be True
