armando-migliaccio ef1e08022b Add sanity check framework to verify neutron server/backend integration 
Some Neutron plugins require controllers and multiple backend services
to operate correctly. This patch adds the framework for third party
plugins to run sanity checks after Neutron Server has started.

This simple addition may reveal potential configuration pitfalls
much earlier in the dev/test cycle, thus speeding up the build
churn process.

The first plugin that uses this framework is the VMware NSX one.

Closes-bug: #1265671

Neutron third party specific files

Some Neutron plugins require third party programs to function. The files under the directory, lib/neutron_thirdparty/, will be used when their service are enabled. Third party program specific configuration variables should be in this file.

  • filename: <third_party>
    • The corresponding file name should be same to service name, <third_party>.

functions

lib/neutron calls the following functions when the <third_party> is enabled

functions to be implemented

  • configure_<third_party>: set config files, create data dirs, etc e.g. sudo python setup.py deploy iniset $XXXX_CONF...

  • init_<third_party>: initialize databases, etc

  • install_<third_party>: collect source and prepare e.g. git clone xxx

  • start_<third_party>: start running processes, including screen e.g. screen_it XXXX "cd $XXXXY_DIR && $XXXX_DIR/bin/XXXX-bin"

  • stop_<third_party>: stop running processes (non-screen)

  • check_<third_party>: verify that the integration between neutron server and third-party components is sane
