Bug Description

The current network API is only exposed to admins. This causes a small issue where if a user wants to add a new fixed IP, they need the network id, which they do not have access to anywhere.

Also, if the user needs to know more about their network because they've switched to static IPs instead of DHCP on their machine and want to know the subnet/dns/etc -- They have no way to do it.

There has to be a simple way of listing all the basic network information including DNS servers, UUID, subnet mask, etc. for users as well.

    Expose a limited networks API for users

    Currently, users do not have any way of knowing what networks
    are available for use, and in some scenarios such as when a
    user wants to add a fixed IP, they do not have access to the
    network ID.

    This exposes a limited amount of information through the
    existing networks extension for users and fixes LP Bug #1003979
