    - Table stats replies omit hidden tables.

This commit introduces the requirement that hidden tables, if any, be the
highest-numbered tables.  This is because it's not clear to me that
OpenFlow intends to allow tables to be numbered noncontiguously.

We could take this further, by not exposing hidden tables in any way, but
I have this pet theory that being able to get the statistics for these

Separate OpenFlow port numbers from datapath ones.

In a future commit, we will make multiple bridges share a single backing
datapath.  Our simple mapping from datapath to OpenFlow port numbers
won't work, since we'll want the same OpenFlow port numbers on different
bridges.  For example, the OFPP_LOCAL port must be the same on all
bridges, but will have to be a different datapath port on the converged
datapath.

This commit makes it the responsibility of ofproto to assign the
OpenFlow port numbers instead of doing a simple translation from the
datapath ones.
