In the present code, each driver package provides a `New()` method
which constructs a driver of its type, which is then registered with
the controller.
However, this is not suitable for the `drivers/remote` package, since
it does not provide a (singleton) driver, but a mechanism for drivers
to be added dynamically. As a result, the implementation is oddly
dual-purpose, and a spurious `"remote"` driver is added to the
controller's list of available drivers.
Instead, it is better to provide the registration callback to each
package and let it register its own driver or drivers. That way, the
singleton driver packages can construct one and register it, and the
remote package can hook the callback up with whatever the dynamic
driver mechanism turns out to be.
NB there are some method signature changes; in particular to
controller.New, which can return an error if the built-in driver
packages fail to initialise.

* Modified NB API with self referential var-aarg for future proofing the APIs
* Modified Driver API's option parameter to be a Map of interface{}

- To reflect work flow. NewDriver() => ConfigureDriver()
and no NetworkDriver returned.
libnetwork clients would refer to a driver/network type, then
internally controller will retrieve the correspondent driver
instance, but this is not a concern of the clients.
- Remove NetworkDriver interface
- Removed stale blank dependency on bridge in libnetwork_test.go
