RFE: Transition default VIM to API and DB operation

[Sridhar Ramaswamy]

Currently the default VIM is a tacker.conf configuration operation. In many cases, creating the default vim is the first operation a Tacker deployer would do. However, the default vim name (or uuid) need to be added to tacker.conf and a tacker service restart is required. This user experience is uneven and not optimal.

Also, if/when an operator decides to change the default-vim, again a tacker service restart is required with need operator downtime.

Instead, the solution should be move to have this handled using a tacker VIM api to set the default-vim in the tacker-db.

Something like this,

tacker vim-register --name VIM0 --default-vim --description 'Default OpenStack site' --config-file default_vim.yaml

Saju, are you planning to taking care of the Horizon changes as well for this bug?

Now that server and client is merged, Horizon changes need to be done to complete this bug implementation. Else this would error out if user tries to register VIM via Horizon.
