This patch adds a temporary method to create a network client using sdk. This method will help to migrate network commands from neutronclient to sdk one by one. The command which is being migrated will use this temporary method to create the sdk client, and the rest ones will use the old client. The temporary method will finally be removed and implement the same thing in make_client(). This patch will also add sdk to requirements file. And adds some formatter helper functions, which will be used in class CreateNetwork, ListNetwork and ShowNetwork. This patch is splited from TerryHowe <terrylhowe@gmail.com> 's original patch.

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-openstackclientThere are a few variants on getting help. A list of global options
and supported commands is shown with --help:
openstack --helpThere is also a help command that can be used to get
help text for a specific command:
openstack help
openstack help server createConfiguration
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>
