VMware: Expand Opaque Network Support
The original support for Opaque networks make use of a
configuration flag indicating that a global integration bridge
was configured on the ESX host. If this global integration
bridge was used then that would be selected as the opaque network.
The next generation NSX neutron plugin will not make use of the
integration bridge. This will require that we make use of the network
ID for the opaque network.
For backward compatible opaque support the 'integration-
to be set. If this is not set then the network id will be used as the
opaque id.
The support for VC 6.0 has specific support for this. For 5.5 we make
use of a DynamicProperty setting to achieve the same goal.

Set to medium priority since this is a pain point for the vmware subteam as the Neutron NSXv3 plugin was released in Liberty. -- mriedem 20151104
