Steve Baker 7d3111f941 Implement neutron client plugin
This moves the client creation code out of Clients._neutron() into
its own client plugin.

Neutron is an integrated project, and python-neutronclient is a dependency,
so the import is now mandatory. Also any conditional code which skipped
if the neutron client was missing has been removed, since the presense or
absense of an installed neutronclient has no bearing on whether neutron
is installed on a given cloud.

ExtraRoute plugin for OpenStack Heat

This plugin enables using ExtraRoute as a resource in a Heat template.

This resource allows assigning extra routes to Neutron routers via Heat templates.

NOTE: Implementing ExtraRoute in the main heat tree is under discussion in the heat community.

This plugin has been implemented in contrib to provide access to the functionality while the discussion takes place, as some users have an immediate requirement for it. It may be moved to the main heat tree in due-course, depending on the outcome of the community discussion.

1. Install the ExtraRoute plugin in Heat

NOTE: Heat scans several directories to find plugins. The list of directories is specified in the configuration file "heat.conf" with the "plugin_dirs" directive.

2. Restart heat

Only the process "heat-engine" needs to be restarted to load the newly installed plugin.

3. Example of ExtraRoute
