YANG models for CORD

This is a work-in-progress effort to create YANG data models for the CORD project.

xos-core.yang

This YANG module will be the primary YANG module that will house all XOS related models going forward. The models for these came from xos/core/models directory in the XOS repository. It will eventually house the Service class, the Tenant class, etc. One notable convention here is the existence of the /api/tenant/cord and /api/service configuration tree inside this module. In a sense, I'm considering this YANG module to be the master module that all other modules derive from and augments into this module. You can see this augment behavior in the cord-subscriber.yang schema.

For now, I've captured the TenantRoot and Subscriber classes.

cord-device.yang

I created this YANG module based on the CordDevice class found inside the subscriber.py (API) module implementation. I think this particular model is rather under-developed, and not placed in the right place (shouldn't be inside subscriber.py which should really just be the controller definitions). This module has a potential to be leveraged more effectively if the goal is for this to become one the the core CORD models from which other devices inherit from (which I'm guessing it will be).

cord-subscriber.yang

This module contains the heart of the initial modeling exercise. It captures the CORD Subscriber data model (which extends XOS Subscriber model, which extends XOS TenantRoot model). There are two primary models: grouping subscriber and grouping subscriber-controller.

The 'subscriber' model extends the xos:subscriber (from the xos-core.yang) and mirrors as closely as possible the CordSubscriberRoot class. Some deviations were largely around the variable name convention where I've replaced all underscore with a dash (upload_speed is now upload-speed). This is largely to comply with YANG convention where the schema is used to model XML element structure and underscores are not really used in XML based representations (not even sure if it is valid...).

The other key deviation is in the organization of the various attributes. Instead of having a simple flat list of properties, I've grouped them into related 'services' (pseudo-JSON below):

services: {
  cdn: {
    enabled: true
  },
  firewall: {
    enabled: true,
    rules: []
  },
  url-filter: {
    enabled: true,
    level: 'PG',
    rules: []
  }
  uverse: {
    enabled: true
  }
}

Eventually, I think these four hard-coded services will be moved out of the cord-subscriber data model altogether. I'm not sure what "on-boarded" services actually implement these features but it should be augmented by those individual service's YANG models into the cord-subscriber data model.
