This change allows operators greater flexibility in enabling advanced services
within the Neutron framework.

Many of the features that can be enabled via this mechanism can and should be
added as features in their corresponding service projects. This proposal
specifies a mechanism for operators and vendors to enable features which,
for whatever reason, are not being addressed by the OpenStack dev community.
This could be because the feature is too niche to be broadly applicable,
the release timeline is too far in the future, or a good open-source
alternative simply does not exist yet.  This proposal adds a mechanism to
handle the interim, until the mainline feature is supported.
