Make port binding implementation configurable

[Federico Ressi]

Ml2 driver currently implement port binding by parsing network topology from OpenDaylight to extract VIF type and details. This is required for current and old versions of OpenDaylight.

In a near future we would like to allow completely different implementations of bind_port method. To open that path a interface similar to the one of mech drivers has to be defined. It should accept entry points registered by other plugins like for ML2 drivers.
