This patch makes "network show" command use sdk. Since we have to keep the other commands runnable with the old network client, we use a temporary method to create sdk network client. And as a result, the tests need to patch a method to fake the temporary method, which will be removed at last. There are two same test cases in the unit tests. This patch will remove one. And since the output has changed, we also need to fix function test cases.

OpenStackClient
OpenStackClient (aka OSC) is a command-line client for OpenStack that brings the command set for Compute, Identity, Image, Object Store and Volume APIs together in a single shell with a uniform command structure.
The primary goal is to provide a unified shell command structure and a common language to describe operations in OpenStack.

Getting Started
OpenStack Client can be installed from PyPI using pip:
pip install python-openstackclient
There are a few variants on getting help. A list of global options
and supported commands is shown with --help
:
openstack --help
There is also a help
command that can be used to get
help text for a specific command:
openstack help
openstack help server create
Configuration
The CLI is configured via environment variables and command-line options as listed in http://docs.openstack.org/developer/python-openstackclient/authentication.html.
Authentication using username/password is most commonly used:
export OS_AUTH_URL=<url-to-openstack-identity>
export OS_PROJECT_NAME=<project-name>
export OS_USERNAME=<username>
export OS_PASSWORD=<password> # (optional)
The corresponding command-line options look very similar:
--os-auth-url <url>
--os-project-name <project-name>
--os-username <username>
[--os-password <password>]
If a password is not provided above (in plaintext), you will be interactively prompted to provide one securely.
Authentication may also be performed using an already-acquired token and a URL pointing directly to the service API that presumably was acquired from the Service Catalog:
export OS_TOKEN=<token>
export OS_URL=<url-to-openstack-service>
The corresponding command-line options look very similar:
--os-token <token>
--os-url <url-to-openstack-service>
