The asf/vpc branch merge to the master is completed. Some bugs were found
during the final round of regression for the VPC

1) UI - enable Static nat button doesn't work neither from Networks tab,
nor from the VPC. Brian is going to fix it.
2) create LB rule fails for VPC on th Virtual router side due to some
error while programming haconfig. Anthony is going to look into it.
3) S2S vpn (part of VPC feature) - customer VPN db schema is not up to
date, some changes weren't cherry-picked from citrix internal branch to
asf/vpc. Sheng is going to take care of it.


The regression test for regular Isolated networks outside of vpc didn't
raise any problems, except for the UI one (#1 above).

Sheng/Athony/Brian, please put all your fixes to master branch directly
(and 4.0 once it's branched out). And double check that all vpc related
changes from citrix internal branch are present in asf repo; I found
couple of inconsistencies, and added them. Please fix the rest.

-Alena.
