Not using vxlan, so there's no network span across availability zones.
It seems there's no built-in way to configure Horizon to do so. The
problem with this is that sometimes if user picks the wrong network
and availability zone combo, the VM will end up in the wrong state.
This is why it would be ideal to only show available networks for the
availability zone that the user already picked.

I am wondering how to modify the horizon source code to achieve this,
but I am not familiar with Angular, and the workflow code is pretty
complex for newbie ..
