Title:
  Discrepancy between bulk operation doc and implementation

Status in neutron:
  Expired

Bug description:
  It seems that the bulk operations are not implemented as documented.
  For instance, check create networks: http://docs.openstack.org/api/openstack-network/2.0/content/bulk_create_networks.html

  Doc states that the request body should be in the following format:

  {
  "networks": [
     {
       "name": "sample_network_1",
       "admin_state_up": false
     },
     {
       "name": "sample_network_2",
       "admin_state_up": false
     }]
  }

  But actually the request body is submitted as follows:
  {
  "networks": [
     {
       "network": 
             {
               "name": "sample_network_1",
                "admin_state_up": false
             },
      }
      { "network":
            { 
              "name": "sample_network_2",
              "admin_state_up": false
            }
      }]
  }

  
  This could be a dob bug, a Quantum API bug, or both.

  If we deem the way described in the documentation to be the correct
  one, than we need to do a non backward-compatible change in the
  Quantum API.  One might argue however that this change is not backward
  incompatible as the API was wrong in the first place, and the fix
  should be backported to folsom.

  Allowing both ways for specifying a bulk request is also feasible, but in general we should avoid supporting several ways of doing the same thing unless:
  - it is not likely to cause confusion on end users
  - does not require different code paths to be maintained
