Title:
  make nvp plugin future version friendly

Status in OpenStack Neutron (virtual network service):
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  If we run the NVP plugin with a shiny new version of NVP we might get
  stacktraces like the following:

  Traceback (most recent call last):

  2013-08-27 10:39:58.131 8604 TRACE neutron.api.v2.resource KeyError: NN

  Where NN is the version major that's missing from NVPLIB_FUNC_DICT.
  Currently we support 2.x and 3.x. But what happens when 4 or 5 come
  along? We can decide to assume the plugin is not supported on newer
  versions of the NVP platform, and fail gracefully, or we can fall back
  on a known version in the hope that backward compatibility is
  preserved. Either way, it'd be good not to leave this stacktrace as it
  is.
