These structures for OpenFlow stats requests and replies have identical
memebers, but until now they have been separate structures. Since in some
cases we actually want to treat both of them the same way, this has led
to various kinds of awkwardness. This commit merges them into a new
"struct ofp_stats_msg" and fixes up the users.
I looked at almost every uint<N>_t in the tree to determine whether it was
really in network byte order, and converted the ones that were.
The only remaining ones, modulo my mistakes, are in openflow.h. I'm not
sure whether we should convert those, because there might be some value
in remaining close to upstream for this header.
The main purpose of the vconn code is to ship OpenFlow messages across
network connections. Over time a large number of utility functions related
to OpenFlow messages have also crept into vconn.c, but that's really
logically separate. This commit breaks those functions out into a new
file.
These are useful for checking that the syntax of a name is valid, so that
completely invalid names can be rejected at program startup time.

The vconn code is a relative fossil as OVS code goes. It was written
before we had really figured how code should fit together. Part of that
history is that it used poll_fd_callback() to register callbacks without
the assistance of other code. That isn't how the rest of OVS works now;
this code is the only remaining user of that function.
To make it more like the rest of the system, this code gets rid of the use
of poll_fd_callback(). It also adds vconn_run() and vconn_run_wait()
functions and calls to them from the places where they are now required.
Currently only ofproto.c ever composes OFPT_PACKET_IN messages, but some
upcoming code wants to do the same thing, so factor this out into a new
function to avoid code duplication.
Previously, rconn and vconn only allowed users to find out about the
remote IP address. This set of changes allows users to retrieve the
remote port, local IP, and local port used for the connection.
