This commit adds new columns virtual_ip and virtual_parents in the
Logical_Switch_Port table, which are used for the new 'virtual' port
type. Most of the time, if a particular port type has type-specific
options, they go in the "options" column. This has the advantage that
we don't end up with lots of columns that are rarely used. It does have
some disadvantages. For example, "options" can't be strong or weak
references, and it requires some convention for having more than one
value. virtual_ip and virtual_parents don't have the former issue,
though virtual_parents does have the latter issue. Did you think
through whether these should be options or new columns?
