"Get-me-a-network" feature is supported in Nova API 2.37 or later. To support this in horizon, a dummy "auto_allocated_network" is shown in the launch instance form. I believe this approach fits the current way of the launch instance form. The dummy network is a special network ID and if specified the nova API wrapper converts 'nics' parameter properly. In addition, a dummy "auto_allocated_network" is now shown in the network table. This is because Neutron creates an actual auto allocated network once a server is created specifying nics=="auto". I believe this fake behavior brings consistency in the network table to some extent, while this is just a compromise. Note that this patch does not cover the network topology integration. "auto_allocated_network" is not shown until the actual auto allocated network is created. The network topology integration requires more work. For example, the link for the fake auto allocated network should be disabled in the flat view. The pop-up for the fake auto allocated network should be disabled in the graph view.
