Currently the driver configuration is pushed through a separate
api. This makes driver configuration possible at any arbitrary
time. This unncessarily complicates the driver implementation.
More importantly the driver does not get access to it's
configuration before it can do the handshake with libnetwork.
This make the internal drivers a little bit different to
external plugins which can get their configuration before the handshake
with libnetwork.
This PR attempts to fix that mismatch between internal drivers and
external plugins.

This commit brings in the first implementation of
overlay driver which makes use of vxlan tunneling
protocol to create logical networks across multiple
hosts.
This is very much alpha code and should be used for
demo and testing purposes only.

Currently store makes use of a static isReservedNetwork check to decide
if a network needs to be stored in the distributed store or not. But it
is better if the check is not static, but be determined based on the
capability of the driver that backs the network.
Hence introducing a new capability mechanism to the driver which it can
express its capability during registration. Making use of first such
capability : Scope. This can be expanded in the future for more such cases.
