NETCONF driver for IOS-XR

Over the last 18 months Cisco has been working on implementing a NETCONF-based driver for the IOS-XR platforms. The new driver is now available in the core NAPALM library, besides the existing driver (which uses the proprietary XML API). The minimum IOS-XR version required is 7.0. Check out https://napalm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/support/iosxr_netconf.html for more information and caveats.

Many thanks to the Cisco team, in particular to @neelimapp and @111pontes for their work, and @ktbyers for coordinating these efforts.

As this is a brand new driver, you may encounter various issues, and we will welcome your reports and pull requests to fix those!

Commit Confirmed

Beginning with this release, NAPALM natively supports commit confirmed operations. See https://napalm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials/changing_the_config.html#committing-the-configuration-with-a-required-confirmation for more usage details.
