Test port data plane status on Sample Inspector

Exercise the Neutron port data plane status API on the Sample Inspector.

Setting the data_plane_status field of Neutron Port objects to 'DOWN'
when a network failure on a node is detected.

To keep the test simple enough to verify the Neutron API, we don't
consider a scenario where multiple NIC ports could be present on that
particular node. It could still be done, though.
