    Add Virtual Network Interface Driver APIs

    This patch adds the driver API interfaces for the virtual network
    interface API in order to abstract the task of assigning logical network
    interfaces to physical network interfaces.

    Since the OpenStack Newton release, Ironic provides an interface for
    pluggable network implementations. Different network implementations may
    want to handle how logical to physical network interface assignment
    happens. To do this the new API calls into new functions on the network
    implementation loaded for the specified node.

    This is part 1 of 3, and adds four new functions vif_attach, vif_detach,
    vif_list, port_changed, portgroup_changed, get_current_vif to the base
    network interface class, which should be overridden by network interface
    implementations.

    DHCP provider update_mac_address method was deprecated, network
    interface port_changed() and portgroup_changed() should be used instead.
