The OVS Python daemons weren't reopening their log files after rotation, so
all the log information after the second rotation was lost.

Commit 24e81092a1 (debian: Bring Debian packaging in-line with new file
locations) introduced an ambiguous "--t" option invoking ovs-appctl, so
ovs-vswitchd and ovsdb-server were not reopening their log files following
log rotation. This fixes the problem by correct the option name.

It is inconvenient to type the whole path to the Unix daemon socket when
using ovs-appctl. Allow the name of the daemon to be used instead when
a pidfile exists in the default location, and contact ovs-vswitchd by
default.
Also, the various options for manipulating vlog were invented before the
general-purpose command mechanism existed. Get rid of all of the action
options in favor of just specifying the command to be executed as
non-option arguments.
Finally, there simply wasn't much value in allowing multiple targets or
options to be specified; these variations were never used in practice. So
simplify the interface by making it one target, one action per invocation.
Also, make ovs-vsctl use the same syntax for its --target option.
