Track Jumbo Frames support in Foreman
Description
My high performance networks use Jumbo Frames. I'd love a way of indicating a custom MTU for specific interfaces (or subnets?).
I envision something like GET /api/hosts/:host_id/interfaces would have the MTU option so I can parse it out for the host either as Facts or for Kickstart.

Interface model serializes any additional attributes that we receive from puppet which by default reports facts like "mtu_eth0 => 1500". We might just need to expose it in API views. To verify that you have these information present you can do something like this
foreman-rake console
Host.first.interfaces.first.attrs.inspect
exit
If the first host received facts upload, it should print something.

My hope is to be able to pull the data from foreman so that I can set the MTU in there and have it get pushed out so that I can have puppet configure the jumbo frames.
