get_bgp_neighbors returns incorrect local-as for NXOS #1964

Description of Issue/Question

get_bgp_neighbors for NXOS returns global local-as setting rather than the per-session local-as

Looking at the internals of napalm it uses 'show bgp all summary vrf all' in the NXOS driver for gt_bgp_neighbors.
This command only returns the global ASN for the BGP router. It does not return the actual local-as for each BGP peering session. You'd need to combine the data from 'show running-config bgp' output in order to return the correct local-as for each individual BGP session.
