Add pods created by kube play to a default network

In order to allow pods to reach other pods (as in Kubernetes) they all
need to be added to the same network. A network is created (if it
doesn't exist) and pods created by play-kube are added to that network.
When network options are passed to kube command the pods are not
attached to the default kube network.
