[openstack-dev] [neutron] [ipam] Migration to pluggable IPAM

The difference lies in the process in my opinion.
If the switch is added into the migration path then we will tell operators
when to switch.
I was suggesting doing it manual because we just don't know if every
operator is happy about doing the switch when upgrading to Newton, but
perhaps it is just me over-worrying about operator behaviour.

The other aspect is the deprecation process. If you add the switch into the
DB migration path then the whole deprecation becomes superseded as the old
IPAM logic should be abandoned immediately after that. But perhaps the
other way of looking at it is that we should make an exception in the
deprecation process.
