made VNIC_TYPE a compulsory port bindings attribute.

This broke the NSX plugin which is now not able to boot VMs anymore. Probably other plugins are affected.
Whether VNIC_TYPE is really a required attribute questionable; the fact that port bindings is such a messy interface that can cause this kind of breakages is at least annoying.

Regardless, all plugins must now adapt. 
This will also be fixed once a general fix for bug 1370077 is introduced - nevertheless, the NSX plugin can't risk staying broken for more time, and also its 3rd party integration tests are disabled because of this. For this reason we're opening a bug specific for this plugin to fast-track a fix for it.
