proposal ebuild

The proposal ebuild just install the mininet binaries, I've tried to generate the doxygen documentation but it gives me an error about xtab.sty and doxypy.

Mount /sys as MS_SLAVE|MS_REC

Systemd's default is to mark the root mount as shared and it is inherited as
 such by the new mount namespace. Mininet, to behave correctly, should mount /sys as MS_SLAVE or MS_PRIVATE. MS_SLAVE is more permissive, so we go the MS_SLAVE route for now. See also https://cloudrouter.atlassian.net/browse/CR-126 and https://github.com/mininet/mininet/issues/509 for upstream bug
