IPv6 uses Neighbor Discovery messages in a similar manner to how IPv4
uses ARP. This commit adds support for matching deeper into the
payloads of Neighbor Solicitation (NS) and Neighbor Advertisement (NA)
messages. Currently, the matching fields include:
- NS and NA Target (nd_target)
- NS Source Link Layer Address (nd_sll)
- NA Target Link Layer Address (nd_tll)
When defining IPv6 Neighbor Discovery rules, the Nicira Extensible Match
(NXM) extension to OVS must be used.

Provides ability to match over IPv6 traffic in the same manner as IPv4.
Currently, the matching fields include:
- IPv6 source and destination addresses (ipv6_src and ipv6_dst)
- Traffic Class (nw_tos)
- Next Header (nw_proto)
- ICMPv6 Type and Code (icmp_type and icmp_code)
- TCP and UDP Ports over IPv6 (tp_src and tp_dst)
When defining IPv6 rules, the Nicira Extensible Match (NXM) extension to
OVS must be used.

These will be useful for adding Nicira Extended Match support to ovs-ofctl.
This commit makes ofproto use the new flow_mod abstraction, but not the
new flow and aggregate stats abstraction. The latter takes a bit more
infrastructure that I haven't finished yet.
