This PR adds missing pieces to support NSX-T Edge Gateway External Network uplinks (only for external networks backed by NSX-T Segments) (VCD 10.4.1+)
List of things added:
New internal function *NsxtEdgeGateway.reorderUplinks() that will order NSX-T Edge Gateway uplinks. There are two major types of uplinks
NSXT_TIER0 or NSXT_VRF_TIER0 - Tier 0 gateway backed external network (mandatory and is required during creation)
IMPORTED_T_LOGICAL_SWITCH NSX-T segment backed external network (this is optional, attached post creation in "External networks" tab)
New method NsxtEdgeGateway.GetAllocatedIpCountByUplinkType complementing existing
NsxtEdgeGateway.GetAllocatedIpCount. It will return allocated IP counts by uplink types (requires VCD 10.4.1+)
New method NsxtEdgeGateway.GetPrimaryNetworkAllocatedIpCount that will return total allocated IP
count for primary uplink (T0 or T0 VRF)
New field types.EdgeGatewayUplinks.BackingType that defines backing type of NSX-T Edge Gateway
Uplink (available in VCD 10.4.1+)
Note on uplink ordering. API usually returns the mandatory network as element 0 in the resulting slice, but there have been cases where VCD sometimes shuffles these responses (don't have a proof for this particular endpoint). As a result - the reorderUplinks function is here to ensure that NSXT_TIER0 or NSXT_VRF_TIER0uplink is always at position 0. It is also used in all functions related to NSX-T Edge Gateway.
Tested with tags nsxt gateway network:
10.5.0
10.4.1
10.4.0
10.4.2
Tests are for admin mode only, skip directive for Org tests is in place. The test requires 10.4.1+.
