NAT on private gateway

Introduction:

Currently on the private gateway there is no way to configure the NAT rules.

With this feature we can enable the source NAT service  on the VPC private gateway.

Use Case:

Users might want to deploy multiple VPCs (with the same super CIDR) and/or guest Tier CIDR. So, there could be a possibility that multiple guest VM (from different VPCs) having the same IP need to reach a enterprise DC via the Private GW.

In these cases, NAT service is needed on the private GW.

Bug Reference: CLOUDSTACK-768

Design:

After Enabling NAT on private gateway interface guest, VMs in VPC reaches to enterprise network via private gateway ip address by NATing.
