1.0.0 release is not compatible with OpenStack Mitaka

[James Page]

[Impact]
NSX SDN support is currently broken in Ubuntu 16.04

[Test Case]
Deploy OpenStack with NSX SDN; resulting cloud is not functional
Package FTBFS, with missing dependencies and then incompatibilities with neutron core.

[Regression Potential]
Well it can't get much worse that it is now..

[Original Bug Report]
The vmware-nsx team released an 8.0.0 release (which is compatible with OpenStack Mitaka as shipped in 16.04); the 1.0.0 release a) fails to pass its unit tests a b) is not compatible with Mitaka.

We need to update to 8.0.0 to provide compatibility.

8.0.0 is stuck in proposed for yakkety; its failing to build with the rest of the openstack components for newton.

[James Page (james-page)]

8.0.0 version uploaded to xenial-proposed for SRU Team review.
