Problem aiming to solve

Incorporate the changes to the ETSI VNF Descriptor information model from version 2.5.1 to version 2.7.1 .

Changes

Types:

1. Add new type VipCpd which is a generalization of type Cpd and describes a requirement to allocate one or a set of virtual IP addresses.

2. Add new type CheckSumData which provides a mechanism to verify SwImages

3. Add new type VnfInterfaceDetails which specifies the details of an interface produced by the VNF on the Ve-Vnfm  reference point

Other changes:

1. VDU::configurableProperties - Cardinality changed to 0..1; cardinatlity 0 when the VNFCs do not have configurable properties

2. CPD::cpProtocol & CPD::trunkMode - Cardinality changed to allow 0

3. VduCpd::vnicType: Added SMART-NIC as an allowable value

4. SwImageDesc:Provider - New attribute of type string with cardinality 0..1 which describes the provider of the software image.

5. VnfDf:supportedVnfInterface - New attribute of type VnfInterfaceDetails with cardinality 0..N which indicates which interfaces the VNF produces and provides additional details on how to access the interface endpoints.

6. VnfConfigurableProperties::vnfminterfaceinfo - New attribute with cardinality 0..1 which contains info enabling access to the NFV-MANO interfaces produced by the VNFM <Expect to remain as Experimental since the type is still undergoing discussion in ETSI>

7. VnfConfigurableProperties::vnfmOauthServerinfo - New attribute with cardinality 0..1 which contains info to enable discovery of the authorization server protecting access to the VNFM interfaces

8. VnfConfigurableProperties::vnfOauthServerinfo - New attribute with cardinality 0..1 which contains info to enable discovery of the authorization server to validate the access tokens provided by the VNFM when the VNFM accesses the VNF interfaces

9. Updated all of the 2.5.1 references to 2.7.1

10. Provided the gendoc for the classes that are in the "common" section.
