Title:
  Allow Cisco ML2 driver to use the upstream ncclient

Status in OpenStack Neutron (virtual network service):
  Fix Released
Status in neutron icehouse series:
  New

Bug description:
  Currently, the Cisco ML2 driver relies on a specially patched and
  maintained custom version of the ncclient 3rd party library for
  communication with various switches.

  Changes have been submitted to the upstream ncclient now so that there
  is no need to maintain a separate version of the ncclient anymore.

  To take advantage of the new ncclient version, a small change needs to
  be made to the Cisco ML2 driver, so that it can detect whether the old
  (custom) ncclient is installed, or whether the new upstream ncclient
  is used.

  Installation and maintenance will be simplified by not requiring a
  custom version of the ncclient.
