Kanzhe Jiang bc4c382f11 Support a timeout argument when instantiating a bigswitch plugin
The timeout argument overwrites the timeout value set in the config file.
The change permits any standalone script to interact with the bigswitch controller
through the quantum plugin with customized timeout value without changing the plugin
behavior.

# Quantum REST Proxy Plug-in for Big Switch and FloodLight Controllers

This module provides a generic quantum plugin 'QuantumRestProxy' that
translates quantum function calls to authenticated REST requests (JSON supported)
to a set of redundant external network controllers.

It also keeps a local persistent store of quantum state that has been
setup using that API.

Currently the FloodLight Openflow Controller or the Big Switch Networks Controller
can be configured as external network controllers for this plugin.
