Currently, Open vSwitch on linux embeds the logic of loading and unloading
kernel modules into the ovs-ctl and ovs-lib script files. This works, but
it means that there is no way to leverage extended filesystem attributes
to grant fine grain permissions relating to module loading.
The split out utility 'ovs-kmod-ctl' will be used in an upcoming commit
for RHEL-based distributions to have a separate transition domain that
will allow module loading to be given to a separate selinux domain from
the openvswitch_t domain.

The _Server database is valuable primarily because it provides database
clients a way to find out the details of changes to databases, schemas,
etc. in a granular, natural way. Until now, the only way that the server
could notify clients about these kinds of changes was to close the session;
when the client reconnects, it is expected to reassess the server's state.
One way to provide this kind of granular information would be to add
specific JSON-RPC requests to obtain notifications for different kinds of
changes, but since ovsdb-server already provides granular and flexible
notification support for databases, using a database for the purpose is
convenient and avoids duplicating functionality.
Initially this database only reports databases' names and schemas, but
when clustering support is added in a later commit it will also report
important aspects of clustering and cluster status. Thus, this database
also reduces the need to add JSON-RPC calls to retrieve information about
new features.

Let's start with a simple one that lets us focus on setting up most of
the required "infrastructure" for building man pages using Sphinx.
This changes the 'check-htmldocs' target to 'check-docs' as its now
responsible for building man page docs too.
Other than that, hurrah for (mostly) legible syntaxes.

Newer debhelper versions support overrides, making rules files simpler and
easier to extend.
Requires some changes in how files are installed (_debian build folder
dropped).

These are auto-generated files, so it would be better not to keep them
inside Open vSwitch repository.
Behaviour before this patch was that if dot tool was not present on
the system, then ovs-vswitchd.conf.db.5 would have used pre-generated
vswitch.pic file that was already checked in the git repository. After
this patch ovs-vswitchd.conf.db.5 will simply not have a dot diagram,
if dot was not present at the time when Open vSwitch was built.

This python script summarizes ovs-dpctl dump-flows content by aggregating
the number of packets, total bytes and occurrence of the following fields:
- Datapath in_port
- Ethernet type
- Source and destination MAC addresses
- IP protocol
- Source and destination IPv4 addresses
- Source and destination IPv6 addresses
- UDP and TCP destination port
- Tunnel source and destination addresses
Testing included confirming both mega-flows and non-megaflows are
properly parsed. Bit masks are applied in the case of mega-flows
prior to aggregation. Test --script parameter which runs in
non-interactive mode. Tested syntax against python 2.4.3, 2.6 and 2.7.
Confirmed script passes pep8 and pylint run as:
pylint --disable=I0011 --include-id=y --reports=n
This tool has been added to these distribution:
- add ovs-dpctl-top to debian distribution
- add ovs-dpctl-top to rpm distribution.
- add ovs-dpctl-top to XenServer RPM.

ovs-vswitchd.conf.db is distributed so it's in the source directory not
the build directory.
This fixes a Debian package build failure introduced by commit 9840bdbd
"debian: Install ovs-vswitchd.conf.db(5) manpage." I did test that commit
but the build failure didn't show up in my environment (probably I had a
stray file left over from development).
This manpage wasn't getting installed. This fixes it.
The --language=C option to dh_installman is necessary to keep that script
from thinking that the ".db" suffix indicates a translation into the "db"
language (which doesn't actually exist) and therefore installing it into
the wrong directory with the .db suffix stripped.
Bug #8138.

I've never heard of anyone actually using controller discovery.
It adds a great deal of code to the source tree, and a little
bit of complication to ofproto, so this commit removes it.
This appears to work in that it creates the database on installation,
starts and stops the programs and loads and unloads the kernel modules at
the right times, but it has not been tested beyond that.
