Allow Calico networking on Azure and DigitalOcean
* Introduce "calico" as a `networking` option on Azure and DigitalOcean using Calico's new VXLAN support (similar to flannel). Flannel remains the default on these platforms for now. * Historically, DigitalOcean and Azure only allowed Flannel as the CNI provider, since those platforms don't support IPIP traffic that was previously required for Calico. * Looking forward, its desireable for Calico to become the default across Typhoon clusters, since it provides NetworkPolicy and a consistent experience * No changes to AWS, GCP, or bare-metal where Calico remains the default CNI provider. On these platforms, IPIP mode will always be used, since its available and more performant than vxlan

Notes:
|
||||
|
||||
* Calico and Flannel have comparable performance. Platform and configuration differences dominate.
|
||||
* AWS and Azure node bandwidth (i.e. upper bound) depends greatly on machine type
|
||||
* Azure and DigitalOcean network performance can be quite variable or depend on machine type
|
||||
* Only [certain AWS EC2 instance types](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/network_mtu.html#jumbo_frame_instances) allow jumbo frames. This is why the default MTU on AWS must be 1480.
|
||||
* Neither CNI provider seems to be able to leverage bonded NICs well (bare-metal)
