* kvm: Use 'ip' instead of 'brctl'
The command 'brctl' is deprecated and should no longer be used.
iproute2 supports all the features we need and therefor we should use
this instead of the old commands.
Feature wise this does not change anything. It just makes the code more
robust towards the future.

Improved performance on creating VM for KVM virtualization.
On a huge hosts every "ifconfig | grep" takes a lot of time (about 2.5-3 minutes on hosts with 500 machines). For example: ip link show dev $vlanDev > /dev/null is faster than ifconfig |grep -w $vlanDev > /dev/null. But using ip command is much better. Using this patch you can create 500s machine in 10 seconds. You don't need slow ifconfig prints anymore.
VLAN id 4095 is commonly used as a 'tag passthrough' in virtualization environments
(VMware, specifically). This vlan id is incompatible with Linux, but we can
allow the admin to manually configure the bridge if the same passthrough is
desired.

Initial patch for VXLAN support.
Fully functional, hopefully, for GuestNetwork - AdvancedZone.
Patch Note:
in cloudstack-server
- Add isolation method VXLAN
- Add VxlanGuestNetworkGuru as plugin for VXLAN isolation
- Modify NetworkServiceImpl to handle extended vNet range for VXLAN isolation
- Add VXLAN isolation option in zoneWizard UI
in cloudstack-agent (kvm)
- Add modifyvxlan.sh script that handle bridge/vxlan interface manipulation script
-- Usage is exactly same to modifyvlan.sh
- BridgeVifDriver will call modifyvxlan.sh instead of modifyvlan.sh when VXLAN is used for isolation
Database changes:
- No change in database structure.
- VXLAN isolation uses same tables that VLAN uses to store vNet allocation status.
Known Issue:
- Some resource still says 'VLAN' in log even if VXLAN is used
- in UI, "Network - GuestNetworks" dosen't display VNI
-- VLAN ID field displays "N/A"
Detail: Users can experience long delays during VM migration, because the
linux bridge by default will have a forwarding delay set. This means that the
network will likely miss any gratuitous ARP from qemu notifying the network that
the MAC has moved. This change is a common reccommendation for virtualization
running on Linux bridges.

Cloudstack seems to let you create guest traffic types on multiple
physical networks. However, when I try this with KVM I end up always
bridging to whatever device is used for guest.network.device. This pulls
the traffic label (NicTO.getName()) and uses that bridge to ensure that
we get on the correct physical network, rather than just always using
the guest.network.device.
This also changes the bridge naming scheme from cloudVirBr + vlanid to
br + physicalinterface + "-" + vlanid. This is because we should be able
to support the same vlan numbers per physical network, and the previous
bridge name would not support this and collide.
