Sumit Naiksatam f03aaf7abf Update service_chain heat node driver for LBaaS v2 
This patch also updates the chain_mapping policy driver
and the Node Composition Plugin (NCP) to accomodate the
transactional semantics of an async driver such as
the aim_mapping driver which performs all operations
in the pre_commit phase. Note that the chain_mapping driver
and NCP will continue to work with the resource_mapping
driver (or a similar driver) as before.

Since the service chain plugin does not have any knowledge of
pre- or post- commit transaction phases of the GBP plugin that
drive the service chain plugin, a workaround (read hack!) has
been introduced in the current patch to overcome this. Enhancing
the service chain plugin structure is a bigger discussion
and beyond the scope of this patch. It will be tackled in the
context of enhancing and supporting the NFP framework for
aim_mapping like single transaction drivers.

All references to LOADBALANCER type have also been updated to
LOADBALANCERV2 in the unit tests.

README.rst

Group Based Policy (GBP) provides declarative abstractions for achieving scalable intent-based infrastructure automation.

GBP complements the OpenStack networking model with the notion of policies that can be applied between groups of network endpoints. As users look beyond basic connectivity, richer network services with diverse implementations and network properties are naturally expressed as policies. Examples include service chaining, QoS, path properties, access control, etc.

GBP allows application administrators to express their networking requirements using a Group and a Policy Rules-Set abstraction. The specifics of policy rendering are left to the underlying pluggable policy driver.

GBP model also supports a redirect operation that makes it easy to abstract and consume complex network service chains and graphs.

GBP project management (blueprints, bugs) is done via Launchpad: <http://launchpad.net/group-based-policy>
