Signed-off-by: Georgios Katsikas <katsikas.gp@gmail.com>

OpenConfig Driver:
- updated delete operation for interfaces to just remove its description

- Added Routing Policies as special resource for interrogation during initialization
- Added flags in unitary tests to control which tests to be executed in OpenConfig.
- Added run-test-locally specific for device component.

OpenConfig Driver:
- Implemented routing policy templates, parsing and configuration.
- Implemented retry decorator for NetConf client.

- updated OpenConfig templetes
- improved monitoring to report delta values per time period instead of absolute values
- improved unitary tests to select which OpenConfig operation should be tested

Device OpenConfig Driver:
- add missing template
- implement filter to avoid sending empty edit-config requests

Service L3NM-Emulated ServiceHandler:
- implement missing rule to configure routing tables in packet devices

Service L3NM-OpenConfig ServiceHandler:
- implement missing rule to configure routing tables in packet devices

Monitoring:
Reduced default sampling rate to adapt to Infinera devices

Scripts:
- added missing commands to script run_tests_locally.sh

Device:
- added key formatting inside unsibscribe from monitoring
- added termination attribute in GetState to properly interrupt monitoring loops

Service:
- arranged service component testing, missing fixtures

Monitoring:
