New Resources

This extension provides an os-floating-ips resource extension to do the following:
List a tenant's floating ips::
GET /v1.1/tenant_id/os-floating-ips/
# Sample Response:
{ "floating_ips" : [ { "fixed_ip" : "10.0.0.3",
"id" : 1,
"instance_id" : 1,
"ip" : "10.6.0.0"
},
{ "fixed_ip" : null,
"id" : 2,
"instance_id" : null,
"ip" : "10.6.0.1"
}
] }
Normal Response Code: 200
Allocate a floating ip to a tenant::
POST /v1.1/tenant_id/os-floating-ips/
# Sample Response:

"id" : 1,
"instance_id" : 1,
"ip" : "10.6.0.0"
}}
If there are no floating ips available, 400 will be returned, with a
message indicating that no more floating ips are available
