CLOUDSTACK-6925: [OVS] get rid custom logic to create bridges on hosts
in the XenServer pool for GRE tunnel networks
Fix uses XenServer recommended way
Network.other_config:assume_network_is_shared=true
which ensures bridge is created automatically on hosts in the pool for
GRE tunnel networks. Fix also gets rid of error prone custom logic that ensures
bridge is created by plugging a VIF into the dom0 and connected to
GRE tunnel network.

> In XenServer, when we created a GRE tunnel network, they don't have a PIF
> attached it. XenServer treats network without a PIF attached as internal
> network. In a pool, XenServer internal network is visible across the hosts in
> the pool, but bridge is created only on the first host on which VIF connected
> to internal network is started. On rest of the hosts when VM is started, xapi
> fails with VM_REQUIRES_NETWORK exception. CloudStack had workaround for this
> problem where it creates a dom0 VIF connected to the network. Which plugged
> and unplugged to ensure bridge is created on all hosts in the pool. This
> approach is error prone and resulted in multiple issues.
> Recommended way by XenServer, is to mark the network other-config param
> assume_network_is_shared set to true.
> Network.other_config:assume_network_is_shared=true
> This will ensure, when a VM connected to a internal network is launched on
> any host in the pool, bridge is automatically provisioned.
