Now that Neutron resource UUIDs are used directly as APIC names, the
apic_aim unit tests have been simplified. In particular, it is no
longer necessary to map names or to preserve the original Neutron
names given to resources.
Additional unit test enhancements have been made in preparation for
implementing resource sharing. The expected AIM Tenant name is no
longer hardcoded, and is instead determined from the Neutron
resource's tenant_id (this will later be updated to handle
sharing). Neutron resource deletion tests now ensure that
corresponding AIM resources do not exist under any Tenant, rather than
just under a hardcoded Tenant.

(cherry picked from commit 58716b28f5)
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.
