Establish driver API

See my first commit message for details.

This commit anticipates our openflow/opendaylight driver, which we should be able to create pretty soon.

Things that are needed:  Tests for the Dell driver---we need to test the logic of the vlan allocation functions, as well as eventual config parsing.
If we don't commit there, it never will be committed, because the caller has a different database session.  Should they pass in their session?
