datapath: Refuse module load if an active bridge exists.
Loading when an active bridge exists will cause an OOPS as soon as any
packet is received on a bridged interface, because the datapath will
attempt to interpret the bridge's "struct net_bridge_port" as a datapath
"struct net_bridge_port", which is completely wrong.

First cut of management control protocol.
Defines a management control protocol between the switch and NOX.
Currently, this is only used by vswitchd. It allows the configuration
and monitoring of a switch as a whole, as opposed to the flow table view
provided by OpenFlow. To enable, add the appropriate "mgmt" keys to
"vswitchd.conf". Better docs will be forthcoming...

vswitch: Work in terms of ODP port numbers.
The vswitch used to be an OpenFlow client, so all of its internals were in
terms of OpenFlow port numbering. When it was converted to be a datapath
client instead, a shim layer that converted between OpenFlow and ODP port
numbering was inserted, so that it could still work internally in terms of
OpenFlow port numbers.
This commit makes the vswitch use ODP port numbering internally, removing
this shim layer.

output to OFPP_IN_PORT will send the packet to the wrong port, and output

Keep secchan and vswitchd from consuming 100% CPU when a datapath is deleted.

vswitch: Keep existing datapaths when starting up.
Until now, vswitchd has deleted all existing datapaths when it started up,
and then re-created the ones that are actually configured. This is a very
"clean", conservative design, but it has undesirable effects in practice.
In particular, if any datapath has a local port with an IP address
configured on it, then deleting the datapath and recreating it will drop
that IP address, which can mean that your machine just lost connectivity
to the outside world.
So, with this commit, now vswitchd only deletes datapaths at startup that
don't have configured bridges, preserving local port IP addresses.

flow: Properly translate port numbers in flow_from_match().
The OpenFlow and datapath port numbers for the local port are different.

This fixes a performance problem (we were setting up the wrong flow).

secchan: Fix use-after-free by allocating rule actions as separate blocks.
The ofproto code tried to cleverly save memory and time by allocating
rule actions as a flexible array member at the end of "struct rule". When
the actions changed, this required a realloc() call. Unfortunately, there
are sometimes pointers to rules (e.g. the "super" pointer from subrules)
that were not getting adjusted to point to the new location.
It's better to just allocate actions separately, so fix it by doing that.

secchan: Correctly maintain rule's number of actions.
We were reallocating memory properly but not updating the "n_actions"

This problem possibly caused segfaults, since the OpenFlow->ODP action
translation code assumes that OpenFlow actions are prevalidated, and
random memory is not necessarily valid OpenFlow actions :-)
