Retrofit network plugin to work on Windows Nano Server

[mwrock]

Windows Nano exposes the Win32_* WMI classes but they are empty. Instead we should populate network metadata from the newer MSFT_* classes. This PR will continue to use the deprecated classes if they have data and use the new ones if they are empty.

Note that the data in these new schemas is slightly different but I have tried to make the data exposed in the network interfaces as close to identical to that exposed on other versions of windows. Attempts to get an IP address will succeed but some of the subnet metadata is missing since I could not find that in the new classes.

I think this is a good first stab and we should fill in missing data later if needed. The primary objective here is to allow chef client runs to work and not raise an error when trying to use the node's IP.

@mwrock What windows release first shipped with the new classes?

[mwrock]

I think 8.1/2k12r2

The only difference is the ordering of the ip_address properties in the property set because I had to change the way they were manipulated that worked with both sets of claees. The values are identical and the ordering does not matter.
