Thomas Bachman 7d722bae8e Add no nat cidrs network extension
The no-NAT CIDRs extension is applied to the network resource
in neutron. When applied, it affects the list of subnets that
should be reachable without NAT that are delivered in the RPC
calls to agents. The agents can then use this information to
ensure that specific destination CIDRs will never use NAT.

The extension can be applied to both tenant and external/public
networks. The extension should be used judiciously, as placing
it on a network will cause those CIDRs to be added to all RPC
calls requesting subnets within that VRF (e.g. the extension
could be added to a shared network or to a network that uses
a subnetpool relating to a shared address scope, which would
be seen by all other networks that report to that same address
scope or shared network).

Group Based Policy (GBP) provides declarative abstractions for achieving scalable intent-based infrastructure automation.

GBP complements the OpenStack networking model with the notion of policies that can be applied between groups of network endpoints. As users look beyond basic connectivity, richer network services with diverse implementations and network properties are naturally expressed as policies. Examples include service chaining, QoS, path properties, access control, etc.

GBP allows application administrators to express their networking requirements using a Group and a Policy Rules-Set abstraction. The specifics of policy rendering are left to the underlying pluggable policy driver.

GBP model also supports a redirect operation that makes it easy to abstract and consume complex network service chains and graphs.

Checkout the GBP wiki page for more detailed information: <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/GroupBasedPolicy>

The latest code is available at: <http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/group-based-policy>.

GBP project management (blueprints, bugs) is done via Launchpad: <https://launchpad.net/group-based-policy>
