vlan_interface option in section [vmware] is not configured when nova-network (VlanManager) is used with vCenter

[Igor Zinovik]

nova-network has a configuration parameter "vlan_interface".

vlan_interface parameter is available in two sections of nova-network config file: [DEFAULT] and [vmware].
vlan_interface in [DEFAULT] section
determines interface (e.g. eth3) into which VLAN interfaces (e.g. vlan103, vlan104, etc) will be bridged.
vlan_interface configuration option in [vmware] section determines physical ethernet adapter name
for vlan networking (e.g. vmnic1).

Currently fuel-web UI lacks configuring of this option in case of nova-network (VlanManager) and vCenter
as hypervisor option.

This option (vlan_interface in [vmware]) is ignored when ESXi hosts configured with distributed virtual switch,
it is only relevant when standard virtual switch:

Without this option a user cannot use ESXi's with more than one vSwitch and/or NIC. So I mark this bug as High.

    honour 'vlan_interface' configuration stanza in `vmware' puppet class

    - when vCenter is used with nova-network (VlanManager) 'vlan_interface'
      configuration option is available in [vmware] section
    - introduce new parameter 'vlan_interface' for `vmware' and
      `vmware::controller' puppet classes
    - if 'vlan_interface' is defined and not empty write appropirate string
      to nova-compute (not nova-network) configuration file
      (/etc/nova/nova-compute.conf)

    provide UI control for specifying ESXi VLAN interface

    - when nova-network is configured to use VlanManager network manager in
      [vmware] section we can specify which hardware interface on ESXi hosts
      will be used for networking
    - restrict control: it is shown only when VlanManager was selected on
      the Networks tab, otherwise it becomes invisible
