Fix excessive white space in manpages. In nroff manpages, a blank line adds vertical white space. When this is followed by another command that also starts a new paragraph, the result is a vertical skip twice as big as the normal inter-paragraph gap. The solution is to use a line that contains just "." for white space within the manpage, instead of a blank line. The resulting manpages look better.

A newly created datapath is associated with only one network device, a
virtual network device sometimes called the datapath's ``local port''.
A newly created datapath is not, however, associated with any of the
host's other network devices. To intercept and process traffic on a
given network device, use the \fBadd\-if\fR command to explicitly add
that network device to the datapath.

datapath: Make adding and attaching a vport a single step. For some time now, Open vSwitch datapaths have internally made a distinction between adding a vport and attaching it to a datapath. Adding a vport just means to create it, as an entity detached from any datapath. Attaching it gives it a port number and a datapath. Similarly, a vport could be detached and deleted separately. After some study, I think I understand why this distinction exists. It is because ovs-vswitchd tries to open all the datapath ports before it tries to create them. However, changing it to create them before it tries to open them is not difficult, so this commit does this. The bulk of this commit, however, changes the datapath interface to one that always creates a vport and attaches it to a datapath in a single step, and similarly detaches a vport and deletes it in a single step.

Fix excessive white space in manpages. In nroff manpages, a blank line adds vertical white space. When this is followed by another command that also starts a new paragraph, the result is a vertical skip twice as big as the normal inter-paragraph gap. The solution is to use a line that contains just "." for white space within the manpage, instead of a blank line. The resulting manpages look better.
