[libvirt] [PATCH v2 1/3] Schema and docs for the midonet virtualport type

Midonet is an opensource virtual networking that over lays the IP network between hypervisors. Currently, such networks can be made with the openvswitch virtualport type. This patch, defines the schema and documentation that will serve as basis for the follow up patches that will add support to libvirt for using Midonet virtual ports for its interfaces.
