It appears that Python silently treats invalid escape sequences in
strings as literals, e.g. "\." is the same as "\\.". Newer versions of
checkpatch complain, and it does seem reasonable to me to fix these.

The ovs_error() and ovs_fatal() helper functions are useful enough
to be ported to Python. A user will be added in a future commit.

This patch does minor style cleanups to the code in the python and
tests directory. There's other code floating around that could use
similar treatment, but updating it is not convenient at the moment.
These initial bindings pass a few hundred of the corresponding tests
for C implementations of various bits of the Open vSwitch library API.
The poorest part of them is actually the Python IDL interface in
ovs.db.idl, which has not received enough attention yet. It appears
to work, but it doesn't yet support writes (transactions) and it is
difficult to use. I hope to improve it as it becomes clear what
semantics Python applications actually want from an IDL.
