brcompat: Move more brcompat implementation into userspace.
Until now, the brcompat kernel module has had to do more of the work of
simulating a bridge than is ideal, because brcompatd was not able to find
out when the vswitchd had finished reloading. It is important that the
bridge reconfiguration be complete by the time that the bridge ioctl
returns, so this had to be done from the kernel.
Now it is possible for brcompatd to wait for the reload to finish (by
using the equivalent of "ovs-appctl -e vswitchd/reload") so this part of
the work can be done in userspace. This commit moves it there.
This commit also moves to userspace some error-checking work, in particular
checking whether a bridge or a port operation is correct. This is
important for an upcoming commit, where brcompatd wishes to send a fake
success return value for an operation that must be ignored. When the error
checking is done in the kernel, it defeats this purpose.

Rename the project to OpenVSwitch and change version number to 0.90.0.
The Debian packages have not been renamed yet, since they need plenty of
other work at the moment too.

datapath: Remove hardware table support.
This support was broken anyhow. We have no immediate plans to fix it, so
it's better not to claim to support it.

datapath: Compare entire flow during lookup, not just first 4 or 8 bytes.
The size of a pointer is not the size of the referent.
Only God knows how much havoc this was wreaking.

datapath: Make sure that the "reserved" byte in user-provided flow is zero.
Otherwise we could return a "false negative" lookup result to the user.
(This is not known to fix any real bug; for it to do so, there would have
to be userspace code that doesn't initialize the "reserved" byte, but I
don't know of any.)

vswitch: Restore MAC learning for broadcast ARP replies on bonds.
Bonding has a special exception for MAC learning: don't learn from packets
on bonded ports if we already have learned it on another port. This is
because packets sent out one port can be received on the other, which would
cause us to learn incorrect locations.
But we need to make an exception for broadcast ARP replies, which indicate
that the MAC in question has moved to another switch. Before commit
76fdb7e57 "Implement OFPP_NORMAL action in secchan and hook into vswitchd"
we did so, and this commit restores that behavior.

vswitch: Eliminate dead code.
The bridge had a flow_idle_time member that was set to a constant value
and never modified. This commit removes it.
(secchan is now responsible for configuring the flow idle time, so it is
not desirable to revive this member.)

Add support for coverage counters.
This commit implements a simple form of coverage instrumentation. Points
in source code that are of interest must be explicitly annotated with
COVERAGE_INC. The coverage counters may be logged at any time with
coverage_log().
This form of coverage instrumentation is intended to be so lightweight that
it can be enabled in production builds. It is obviously not a substitute
for traditional coverage instrumentation with e.g. "gcov", but it is still
a useful debugging tool.

secchan: When listing flows, uninstall rules that shouldn't be installed.
To implement flow expiration, secchan periodically queries all the flows
in the datapath flow table. Until now, it has then uninstalled flows that
do not have corresponding rules at all. It has not uninstalled flows that
do have rules that are not supposed to be installed. This commit makes it
also uninstall the latter.
(This is not known to fix any real problem. It is only for completeness.)

secchan: Reinstall flows deleted externally.
If something external to secchan deletes flows from the datapath (e.g.
the administrator runs "dpctl dp-del-flows") then until now secchan would
switch all of those packets manually, using dpif_execute(). Better
behavior is to reinstall the flow. This commit implements that.

datapath: Generalize flow creation and modification.
The ODP_FLOW_ADD and ODP_FLOW_SET_ACTS datapath commands can be usefully
generalized based on whether they should be allowed to create or modify
flows, or both, and whether they reset flow statistics when they modify
an existing flow. This commit does so by merging them into a single
ODP_FLOW_PUT command and adding a set of flags.
In particular this is needed to allow flows to be reinstalled if it is
uncertain whether they have been externally deleted (e.g. with "dpctl
dp-del-flows") without requiring first reading the flow table (as
handle_odp_msg() wants to do), and to replace a flow's actions and reset
its statistics without first deleting it (as rule_update_actions() wants
to do).
Also renames some other datapath commands, for naming consistency.
Also adapts userspace to these changes.

secchan: Don't let queued packets exhaust memory.
The ofproto code was queuing OpenFlow messages to connections without
limiting the maximum number that could be queued at a time. Thus, the
backlog could grow without bound and exhaust all system memory.
This commit introduces a cap on the maximum number of queued messages
in two different categories: packet-in messages and replies to OpenFlow
requests.
