[ixpmanager] Integration of Faucet SDN Controller in IXP Manager Issue.

[Barry O'Donovan]

For the benefit of the list, we have followed this up directly with 
Zeeshan and his colleagues as we've had on going discussions around this.

Development wise, we mentioned that one of the advantages of switching 
from Zend Framework to Laravel has been the ability to have add on 
functionality by way of packages:

https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/packages

We think this is a perfect way to add FAUCET support and we can help 
ensuring UI hooks by detecting the packet and adding menu options.
