[Users] Rest API for vmanager 3.0 (set VM ip address)

[Messaoud Benantar]

Andrew -- thanks for the reply.
  Since <guest_info> of a <vm> is not modifiable, is there a way to set a 
VM's IP address.
This seems like a really needed functionality when provisioning VMs 
through the Rest API.

That's a read only property that shows the IP address of the virtual 
machine reported by the in-guest agent.

There's discussion going on about how we pass a payload to a VM that can 
handle things like in-guest configuration
