Bug Description
Add the ability to view the topology as known by DragonFlow in a graphical way.
This feature is needed to allow easier debugging of issues in flows and understanding the behaviour of DragonFlow.
Implementation stages:
1. Have a view of the topology of a specific network node
2. Have real-time updates of the information (items added/removed)
3. Allow aggregation of the information and have a global view of the topology
4. Allow filtering and dissecting of the information to show just specific parts
5. Allow simulation or tracing of packets in the system on the graphical interface.
All of these features are supported by skydive project, but for other collectors, we should implement our own collector (or a way to send the information to the analyser) in a way that will be out-of-band with the operation of the controller (or at least not block it for long periods) and allow an administrator (rather than developer) easy access and debugging of the system.
