ONF abandoned the OpenFlow specification, so that OpenFlow 1.6 will never
be completed. It did not contain much in the way of useful features, so
remove what support Open vSwitch already had.

OpenFlow 1.4+ supports a feature called requestforward. When a controller
enables this feature, the switch sends that controller a copy of other
controllers' group and meter modification requests. OpenFlow 1.5 supports
some group features not in OpenFlow 1.4. When OVS attempted to forward
such requests to an OpenFlow 1.4 controller, it reported an error and
exited. This commit fixes the problem by making OVS properly translate the
messages to OpenFlow 1.4 format.

Until now, struct ofputil_flow_mod, which represents an OpenFlow flow table
modification request, has incorporated a struct match, which made the
overall ofputil_flow_mod about 2.5 kB. This is OK for a small number of
flows, but absurdly inflates memory requirements when there are hundreds of
thousands of flows. This commit fixes the problem by changing struct match
to struct minimatch inside ofputil_flow_mod, which reduces its size to
about 100 bytes plus the actual size of the flow match (usually a few dozen
bytes).
This affects memory usage of ovs-ofctl (when it adds a large number of
flows) more than ovs-vswitchd.

ofp-util had been far too large and monolithic for a long time. This
commit breaks it up into units that make some logical sense. It also
moves the pieces of ofp-parse that were specific to each unit into the
relevant unit.
Most of this commit is just moving code around.
