Oleg Bondarev 647d925f84 Use RPC instead of neutron client in metadata agent
RPC is a standard way of interacting between Neutron server and agents
Using neutron client is also  inefficient as it results in unneeded
keystone load and may become a bottleneck at scale

DocImpact
When upgrading, one should upgrade neutron server first,
then metadata agent. However there is a fallback in case
metadata agent fails to get info from server by rpc -
it will return to using neutron client.

Closes-Bug: #1092043

# 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.
