VNC API doesn't allow '00:00:00:00:00:00' mac for AAP

[chhandak]

VNC API validation is not allowing to set '00:00:00:00:00:00' mac for allowed address pair. But we can achieve the same using webui and it is getting set in API server also.

We need this all zero mac for one of the supported use case of AAP.

This check is performed by neutron, not VNC api. Did you actually try using VNC API?
