Instead of using tox-install.sh, we can install horizon and neutron
now directly from pypi - or use the current branch in CI system using
tox-siblings.

Update tox.ini for this change and add neutron to requirements file.

This commit includes the following unrelated changes
to pass the gate.
----------------------------------------
devstack: Use setup_develop to install

As this project is in the global requirements now,
we need to edit the constraints.

Tap as a Service

Tap-as-a-Service (TaaS) is an extension to the OpenStack network service (Neutron). It provides remote port mirroring capability for tenant virtual networks.

Port mirroring involves sending a copy of packets entering and/or leaving one port to another port, which is usually different from the original destinations of the packets being mirrored.

This service has been primarily designed to help tenants (or the cloud administrator) debug complex virtual networks and gain visibility into their VMs, by monitoring the network traffic associated with them. TaaS honors tenant boundaries and its mirror sessions are capable of spanning across multiple compute and network nodes. It serves as an essential infrastructure component that can be utilized for supplying data to a variety of network analytics and security applications (e.g. IDS).

For installing Tap-as-a-Service with Devstack please read the INSTALL.rst file
