Stephen Finucane 9fe4654273 api: Reject duplicate port IDs in server create
Specifying a duplicate port ID is currently "allowed" but results in an
integrity error when nova attempts to create a duplicate
'VirtualInterface' entry. Start rejecting these requests by checking for
duplicate IDs and rejecting offending requests. This is arguably an API
change because there isn't a HTTP 5xx error (server create is an async
operation), however, users shouldn't have to opt in to non-broken
behavior and the underlying instance was never actually created
previously, meaning automation that relied on this "feature" was always
going to fail in a later step. We're also silently failing to do what
the user asked (per flow chart at [1]).

The ``POST /servers`` (create server) API will now reject attempts to
create a server with the same port specified multiple times. This was
previously accepted by the API but the instance would fail to spawn and
would instead transition to the error state.
