Kevin Benton 3732f02277 Prevent possible server list damage in BigSwitch plugin
The old failover logic for the BigSwitch plugin modified a
list of controllers as it tested them. If the code for one
thread unexpectedly raised an exception or died, the global
server list could lose a server permanently.
This patch addresses that by flagging servers as failed instead
so the global server list is never modified.

Fixes: bug #1200022

# Neuron REST Proxy Plug-in for Big Switch and FloodLight Controllers

This module provides a generic neutron plugin 'NeutronRestProxy' that
translates neutron function calls to authenticated REST requests (JSON supported)
to a set of redundant external network controllers.

It also keeps a local persistent store of neutron state that has been
setup using that API.

Currently the FloodLight Openflow Controller or the Big Switch Networks Controller
can be configured as external network controllers for this plugin.
