Ironic virt driver portgroups support
To allow utilize NIC aggregation when instance is spawned on hardware server. Nova virt driver should pick bonded NICs with higher preference that single NICs. It will allow user to increase performance or provide higher reliability of network connection.
So this consists of a few things, all contained within the ironic virt driver:
* Implement https:/
* Bump the ironic client API version to give us something that can use portgroups.
* Making use of cloud-init will likely include changes to the config drive generation code in ironic virt driver.
johnthetubaguy asked about QA in irc - cloud-init supports bonding today, but the cirros images used in the gate do not. The ironic team has manually tested a cirros image re-built with bonding modules enabled, and it works as expected. We plan to work with Scott (the cirros maintainer) to get an image released with the modules enabled, then update one or more of our CI jobs to use portgroups to test this feature.

Given the non-trivial nature of this feature we should have a spec for this for Ocata. -- mriedem 20161013
