With the introduction of a driver generic gossip in libnetwork it is not
necessary for drivers to run their own gossip protocol (like what
overlay driver is doing currently) but instead rely on the gossip
instance run centrally in libnetwork. In order to achieve this, certain
enhancements to driver api are needed. This api aims to provide these
enhancements.
The new api provides a way for drivers to register interest on table
names of their choice by returning a list of table names of interest as
a response to CreateNetwork. By doing that they will get notified if a
CRUD operation happened on the tables of their interest, via the newly
added EventNotify call.
Drivers themselves can add entries to any table during a Join call by
invoking AddTableEntry method any number of times during the Join
call. These entries lifetime is the same as the endpoint itself. As soon
as the container leaves the endpoint, those entries added by driver
during that endpoint's Join call will be automatically removed by
libnetwork. This action may trigger notification of such deletion to all
driver instances in the cluster who have registered interest in that
table's notification.

Because overlay is a builtin driver and global allocation of overlay
resources is probably going to happen in a different node (a single
node) and the actual plumbing of the network is probably going to happen
in all nodes, it makes sense to split the functionality of allocation
into two different packages. The central component(this package) only
implements the NetworkAllocate/Free apis while the distributed
component(the existing overlay driver) implements the rest of the driver
api. This way we can reduce the memory footprint overall.

- Move DiscoverNew() and DiscoverDelete() methods into the new interface
- Add DatastoreUpdate notification
- Now this interface can be implemented by any drivers, not only network drivers

* integrated hostdiscovery package with the new Docker Discovery
* Integrated hostdiscovery package with libnetwork core
* removed libnetwork_discovery tag
* Introduced driver apis for discovery events
* moved overlay driver to make use of the discovery events
* Using Docker Discovery service.
* Changed integration-tests to make use of the new discovery

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.

- Maps 1 to 1 with container's networking stack
- It holds container's specific nw options which
before were incorrectly owned by Endpoint.
- Sandbox creation no longer coupled with Endpoint Join,
sandbox and endpoint have now separate lifecycle.
- LeaveAll naturally replaced by Sandbox.Delete
- some pkg and file renaming in order to have clear
mapping between structure name and entity ("sandbox")
- Revisited hosts and resolv.conf handling
- Removed from JoinInfo interface capability of setting hosts and resolv.conf paths
- Changed etchosts.Build() to first write the search domains and then the nameservers

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.
