Public bug reported:

In Neutron extensions resources building process, plural and single resource names are converted manually by adding or removing an 's' ending. For special cases, when 's' ending is wrong, for instance policy/policies, the conversion is done by hard codding.
Each extension does it, and does it bit differently.
This plural<->single conversion is done in several places.

The proposal is to add two functions (plural2single and single2plural) to the neutron.common.utils code,
so these functions will be used for conversions anywhere is needed.

Those new functions should consider some common (or all, which is maybe
unnecessary) special English language exceptions for single-plural
converting - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_plurals
