HIL should add vlan-names on the switch when setting vlans on a port.

We can do this when we enable a Vlan on a port. So HIL can, at that point, set the VLAN name to be whatever is in the database with additional metadata. Something like NetworkName-ProjectName-HIL

That way an admin on the switch can see what networks (belong to)/(are in use) by HIL.

To clarify, we are considering setting the VLAN/Network-specific metadata field on the switch to be something. Since the tag may be too long for some switch fields, the driver might need to truncate it.

Note that this is similar to what #687 proposed to do for switch ports (adding a Managed by HIL tag), but instead of ports we would be doing it to networks.
