Remove the Cisco Nexus monolithic plugin from the code tree

[Henry Gessau]

The Open vSwitch and Linuxbridge plugins are being removed from the Neutron tree in Juno.
See https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1323729

The Cisco Nexus monolithic plugin does not work without the Open vSwitch plugin, so it also needs to be removed from the tree. The Cisco monolithic plugin contains code for both the Nexus hardware switches and the N1KV virtual switch. The N1KV code will remain in the tree (it does not depend on the OVS plugin).

Note: the Cisco Nexus is now supported in Neutron via the Nexus mechanism driver in the ML2 plugin.

    Remove the Cisco Nexus monolithic plugin

    The Cisco Nexus monolithic plugin does not work without the Open
    vSwitch plugin. The Open vSwitch plugin is scheduled to be removed
    as per #1323729. This patch removes the Nexus Hardware switch
    related plugin code. The N1KV virtual switch related code will
    still remain in the tree as it doesn't depend on Open vSwitch
    plugin.

ML2 Nexus plugin does not have provider network support yet. Does it make sense to remove this plugin without that being implemented. I understand this is driven by the requirement of making ml2 standard and removing the ovs plugin.
