Title:
  ovn_dhcp4_global_options doesn't support keys with a list of values

  Fix Released

Bug description:
  When using `ovn_dhcp4_global_options` under `[ovn]` in `ml2_conf.ini`
  it will cause `neutron server` to crash when attempting to parse the
  configuration if a key provided contains a list seperated by commas.

  For example if setting `domain_search_list` with more than one domain.

  ```
  [ovn]
  ovn_dhcp4_global_options = domain_search_list:foo.bar,baz.qux
  ```

  Expected output would be that `neutron server` doesn't crash when
  attempting to parse such configuration and correctly applies these
  options within `OVN`.

  Experienced within OpenStack Epoxy.

  Not currently blocking anything as it is possible to patch
  `_get_ovn_dhcpv4_opts` in
  `neutron/plugins/ml2/drivers/ovn/mech_driver/ovsdb/ovn_client.py` with
  the following

  ```
  options['domain_search_list'] = "\"foo.bar,baz.qux\""
  ```
