Embrane Tempest Compliance

This changeset tracks the changes needed by the Embrane's Neutron Plugin
in order to consistently  pass tempest tests.

Changes:

- Some db transactions were too long and were causing lock timeout
exception. Removed useless transactions (waiting on non-db tasks to complete)
to fix the problem.

- The operation filter was useless, and breaking the tests. Most of the
logic which guarantees the appliance correct state when an operation in executed
is now in the internal library used for the heleos APIs.
The filter was therefore removed (as well as the corresponding exception).

- Fixed "sync" mode. The behavior was incorrect due to the queue timeout.
Furthermore, parallel requests were not waiting on the correct thread.

- Added missing methods for floating IPs (not all the scenarios were covered).

- Minor bug fixes caught during the tests.

Should specify expect_errors=False for success response

In API unit tests, expect_errors=False should be specified
when expecting 2xx API response.

BigSwitch: Use backend floating IP endpoint

Adds new floating IP REST calls for backend
controllers that support it. Adds backend
capability discovery mechanism.

Rename Neutron core/service plugins for VMware NSX

Short aliases are introduced for the NSX plugin(s). This patch
also switches to using the new plugin names/naming scheme in
the unit tests.

Replace binding:capabilities with binding:vif_details

In addition to binding:vif_type, the neutron core plugin needs to
supply various information to nova's VIF driver, such as VIF security
details and PCI details when SR-IOV is being used. This information is
read-only, requires admin privileges, and is not intended for normal
users. Rather than add separate mechanisms throughout the stack for
each such requirement, the binding:capabilities port attibute, which
is a dictionary and is not currently not used by nova, is renamed to
binding:vif_details to serve as a general-purpose mechanism for
supplying binding-specific details to the VIF driver.

This patch does not remove or replace the CAP_PORT_FILTER boolean
previously used in binding:capabilities. A separate patch should
implement the specific key/value pairs carried by binding:vif_details
to implement VIF security. Another patch will implement the key/value
pairs needed for SR-IOV.

The ML2 plugin now allows the bound mechanism driver to supply the
binding:vif_details dictionary content, instead of just the
CAP_PORT_FILTER boolean previously carried by the binding:capabilities
attribute.

DocImpact: Need to update portbinding extension API, but no impact on
user or administrator documentation.

Implements: blueprint vif-details

options: consolidate options definitions

Some config options(interface_driver, use_namespaces) are defined
multiple times in ad-hoc way.  It causes DuplicateOptError exception
when using those module at the same time.  Right now the exception is
avoided in ad-hoc way by each executable.  Those duplicated
definitions should be consolidated and treated in uniformed way.

This is the blocker for blueprint: l3-agent-consolidation

neutron.services.loadbalancer.drivers.haproxy.agent periodic_interval
conflicts with neutron.service one. Since there is no way to fix it
without changing existing behavior/default value, it is untouched for now.
