Allow NetworkLinks of existing containers to be altered via the REST API

[wallrj]

It would be useful to be able to reconfigure the NetworkLinks of existing units using the REST API.

I'm trying to create a unit with a link from a port on localhost in
the container to a port on localhost of the host machine.

The reason I want to do that is so that I can add a NAT rule on the
host machine which routes the connection to another host (if
necessary) without having to restart the gear unit.
If the gear links of a running unit could be altered (via the REST
API) we wouldn't need to do that, but I can't find an example of such
a REST API.

It doesn't exist today, it was something we'd like to have but just hasn't been implement.

Allow links to be refreshed dynamically at any time.
