Bug description:
  When using the remote-managed workflow [0], Neutron fails to bind the
  port when surplus capabilities are present.

  It appears that more recent hardware, such as the NVIDIA BlueField-3
  DPU, exposes these capabilities in a different way than the hardware
  used during original development.

  Symptom:
  WARNING neutron.plugins.ml2.drivers.ovn.mech_driver.mech_driver Refusing to bind port 36581579-67f7-4a96-836a-ef864d850efa due to no OVN chassis for host: X

  The input port looks like this:
  {'admin_state_up': True,
   'allowed_address_pairs': [],
   'binding:host_id': 'XXX',
   'binding:profile': {'capabilities': ['rx',
                                        'tx',
                                        'sg',
                                        'tso',
                                        'gso',
                                        'gro',
                                        'rxvlan',
                                        'txvlan',
                                        'rxhash',
                                        'rdma',
                                        'txudptnl'],
                       'card_serial_number': '52TF43G01CW',
                       'pci_slot': '0000:41:10.0',
                       'pci_vendor_info': '15b3:101e',
                       'pf_mac_address': '58:a2:e1:f9:4f:72',
                       'physical_network': 'physnet1',
                       'vf_num': 126},
   'binding:vnic_type': 'remote-managed',
  ...}

  The result from validate_and_get_data_from_binding_profile() is unexpectedly:
  BPInfo(
      bp_param={},
      vnic_type='remote-managed',
      capabilities=['rx', 'tx', 'sg', 'tso', 'gso', 'gro', 'rxvlan', 'txvlan', 'rxhash', 'rdma', 'txudptnl'])

  So we likely need to expand the validation code to accept additional
  capabilities being present for remote-managed VNICs.
