Salvatore Orlando 13f9e02a64 Remove calls to policy.check from plugin logic
Blueprint make-authz-orthogonal

This patch implements part #3 of this blueprint, according to its
specification.
It does so by allowing the view generator in the API layer to strip
off fields which do not satify authorization policies.
Also, some checks in unit tests for plugins relied on the
capability of the plugin to invoke directly the policy engine.
This checks have been removed and replaced by equivalent unit tests.
Finally, this patch required changes to most test cases for API
extensions in order to ensure the resource attribute map was
updated with the extension's attributes

# Quantum REST Proxy Plug-in for Big Switch and FloodLight Controllers

This module provides a generic quantum plugin 'QuantumRestProxy' that
translates quantum function calls to authenticated REST requests (JSON supported)
to a set of redundant external network controllers.

It also keeps a local persistent store of quantum state that has been
setup using that API.

Currently the FloodLight Openflow Controller or the Big Switch Networks Controller
can be configured as external network controllers for this plugin.
