Google Compute's google_compute_instance_template.network_interface.network should be a URL

[sorccu]

On Terraform v0.6.3, it looks like google_compute_instance_template.network_interface.network is not supposed to be a network name like the documentation suggests. You will get the following error:

* google_compute_instance_template.foo: Error creating instance: googleapi: Error 400: Invalid value for field 'resource.properties.networkInterfaces[0].network': 'bar'.  The URL is malformed., invalid

Using the network's .self_link works.

The "Example Usage" on that page should also be wrong, unless there is some sort of special handling for the "default" network.

Oddly enough, "default" works on its own. I think it would be neater to simply provide a network name rather than note in the documentation to provide a URI to the network. What do you think?

[sorccu]

I think it would be best to go for consistency, so that "default" isn't a special case. I'd prefer just using the network name.

Sounds good, I'll make the fix
