Support TOSCA CSAR bundle with VNFD, NSD templates and mgmt driver

Registered by Sridhar Ramaswamy

Currently in Tacker, mgmt-drivers are pre-bundled as part of the tacker code base, like the one for openwrt [1]. And it needs to plugged into setup.cfg entry_points for it work [2]. This makes things cumbersome to introduce new per-VNF mgmt-drivers during runtime. This blueprint proposes to introduce TOSCA CSAR bundle support [3] which is a zip bundle of VNFD, NSD templates and necessary mgmt-drivers. Tacker needs to accept such a bundle and dynamically incorporate entry-points for those mgmt-drivers that are specific to those VNFs. Optionally, this blueprint can also extend CSAR bundle to include VM images like qcow2, iso required for the VNFDs which can be uploaded to glance.
