Fixes: #2029
Adding
napalm_optional_args
as suggested by @jeremystretch to the platform model allowing the user to pass extra arguments directly to the napalm driver.Instead of a JSON string, the field will accept a comma-separated list of key=value pairs that will be parsed in a dictionary and passed to the napalm driver.
That format is simpler for users to understand and is compatible with the format of the napalm cli tool
--optional_args
argument.
