We want datapath-protocol.h to be acceptable as a Linux kernel header, so
it must use Linux kernel types and must not have references to Open vSwitch
symbols or header files. This commit primarily makes that change to
datapath-protocol.h.
At the same time, at least for now we also want datapath-protocol.h to be
usable on non-Linux platforms, so we need some kind of compatiblity. Thus,
this commit also introduces a <linux/types.h> header file that defines the
necessary Linux kernel types on non-Linux platforms.
In turn, this requires openvswitch/types.h to use the Linux types directly
for ovs_be<N>; otherwise, sparse complains because now __be<N> and
ovs_be<N> are incompatible from its perspective, so this commit makes that
change too.
I don't have a non-Linux kernel platform readily available, so I only
tested the non-Linux part of the linux/types.h substitute by forcing that
case to be triggered with #if 0. It worked, except for errors in actual
Linux kernel headers included explicitly from OVS source files, so I think
it's likely to work in practice.
Bug #7559.

Currently ovs is using device stats for Linux devices and count them
itself in other situations. This leads to overlap with hardware stats,
inconsistencies, etc. It's much better to just always count the packets
flowing through the switch and let userspace do any merging that it wants.
Following patch removes vport->get_stats() interface. vport-stat is changed
to use new `struct ovs_vport_stat` rather than rtnl_link_stats64.
Definitions of rtnl_link_stats64 is removed from OVS. dipf_port->stat is also
removed as aggregate stats are only available at netdev layer.

These types are no longer used, are redundantly defined, and were
cluttering our interface header.
