[openstack-dev] [neutron] Prevent ARP spoofing

Sure, there is an ability to enable ARP spoofing for the port/network, but
it is impossible to make it enabled by default for all ports.
It looks a bit complicated to me and I think it would be better to have an
ability to set default port security via config file.

Best regards,
Tatiana
