User-Space MPLS actions and matches

This patch implements use-space datapath and non-datapath code
to match and use the datapath API set out in Leo Alterman's patch
"user-space datapath: Add basic MPLS support to kernel".

The resulting MPLS implementation supports:
* Pushing a single MPLS label
* Poping a single MPLS label
* Modifying an MPLS lable using set-field or load actions
  that act on the label value, tc and bos bit.
* There is no support for manipulating the TTL
  this is considered future work.

The single-level push pop limitation is implemented by processing
push, pop and set-field/load actions in order and discarding information
that would require multiple levels of push/pop to be supported.

e.g.
   push,push -> the first push is discarded
   pop,pop -> the first pop is discarded

This patch is based heavily on work by Ravi K.
