Subject: Add --network and --port to server create

--nic option is quite unhandy. It is better to have
two seperate options --network and --port to add a
network to a new server.

+The parameters ``--network <network>`` and ``--port <port>`` are actually
+wrappers to ``--nic net-id=<network>`` and ``--nic port-id=<port>``. ``--nic``
+also provides additional options to specify an IP address, automatic network
+assignment and NICs which are not assigned to any port. This functionality
+is not part of ``--network`` and ``--port``, which aim to provide a simple
+syntax for the standard use cases of connecting a new server to a given
+network or port.
