Jana Radhakrishnan b323d571b5 Driver api refactor
Refactored the driver api so that is aligns well with the design
of endpoint lifecycle becoming decoupled from the container lifecycle.
Introduced go interfaces to obtain address information during CreateEndpoint.
Go interfaces are also used to get data from driver during join.
This sort of deisgn hides the libnetwork specific type details from drivers.

Another adjustment is to provide a list of interfaces during CreateEndpoint. The
goal of this is many-fold:
     * To indicate to the driver that IP address has been assigned by some other
       entity (like a user wanting to use their own static IP for an endpoint/container)
       and asking the driver to honor this. Driver may reject this configuration
       and return an error but it may not try to allocate an IP address and override
       the passed one.
     * To indicate to the driver that IP address has already been allocated once
       for this endpoint by an instance of the same driver in some docker host
       in the cluster and this is merely a notification about that endpoint and the
       allocated resources.
     * In case the list of interfaces is empty the driver is required to allocate and
       assign IP addresses for this endpoint.
