armando-migliaccio e23910725d Encapsulate some port properties in the PortContext
Bindings to host or status may need further encapsulation
to avoid exposing mechanism drivers to underlying DB model
details. This was particularly true in the case of the
l2pop mech driver.

As a result, some docstrings were reworded, and the newly
introduced properties used directly in the mech drivers.

Neutron ML2 Cisco Nexus Mechanism Driver README


Notes:

The initial version of this driver supports only a single physical
network.

For provider networks, extended configuration options are not
currently supported.

This driver's database may have duplicate entries also found in the
core ML2 database. Since the Cisco Nexus DB code is a port from the
plugins/cisco implementation this duplication will remain until the
plugins/cisco code is deprecated.
