New option for napalm proxy/minion: provider

This option will turn very handy for environemnts when the user
requires a library with a different name than napalm-base (eventually
on top of the public lib). The sole requirement right now is to
preserve the get_network_driver function. However, this can be enhnaced
even from this perspective later, if really needed.
