netlink-socket: Avoid use-after-free in nl_lookup_genl_mcgroup().
Commit
e408762f "netlink-socket: New function nl_lookup_genl_mcgroup()"
modified do_lookup_genl_family() to return the Netlink attributes to the
caller, but it still freed the Netlink message itself, which meant that
the attributes pointed into freed memory. This commit fixes the problem.
This commit is not a minimal fix. It refactors do_lookup_genl_family(),

netlink-protocol: Move CTRL_ATTR_MCAST definitions for consistency.
One of the current goals of netlink-protocol.h, for better or for worse, is
to ensure that the same definitions are available whether a Linux kernel is

conditional definitions that test for features missing in old kernels at
the very end, after the dummy definitions used on non-Linux platforms.

python: Use getattr() and setattr() instead of __dict__.
This leaves one use of __dict__ used for iterating through attributes.
I could use dir() instead, but I was put off by this note in its
documentation in the Python Library Reference:
Because dir() is supplied primarily as a convenience for use at an
interactive prompt, it tries to supply an interesting set of names more
than it tries to supply a rigorously or consistently defined set of names,
and its detailed behavior may change across releases. For example,
metaclass attributes are not in the result list when the argument is a
class.

ovs.stream: Fix logic bug in Stream.connect().
The loop here is supposed to run at least once, and to continue looping as
long as the loop body changes the current state, but this bug caused it to
continue looping until the connection completed in success or failure. It
probably didn't cause many problems in practice because only Unix domain
socket connections are currently supported, and those connections normally
complete immediately.

Suppress "warning: macro `DD' not defined" warning for ovs-brcompatd.8.
As per the description by Ben Pfaff for the same problem effecting
other files:
deamon.man allows the file that is including it to include extra
text in the description of --detach by defining a macro named DD.
Only some of the manpages that included it did this (only those
manpages that needed extra text there). But it's better to be
quiet in "man --warnings", so this defines DD to an empty value in
the other manpages that include daemon.man.

Debian: Add dependency on ${misc:Depends}
Add dependency on ${misc:Depends} to openvswitch-brcompat and ovsdbmonitor.
As reported by Lintian:
The source package uses debhelper, but it does not include
${misc:Depends} in the given binary package's debian/control entry.
Any debhelper command may add dependencies to ${misc:Depends} that
are required for the work that it does, so recommended best
practice is always add ${misc:Depends} to the dependencies of each
binary package if debhelper is in use.
Refer to the debhelper(7) manual page for details.

userpace to kernel interactions. The userspace libraries still use
"ODP_" in many of their interfaces since it is more descriptive in the
