ofproto: Add ref counting for variable length mf_fields.

Browse Source 
Currently, a controller may potentially trigger a segmentation fault if it
accidentally removes a TLV mapping that is still used by an active flow.
To resolve this issue, in this patch, we maintain reference counting for each
dynamically allocated variable length mf_fields, so that vswitchd can use this
information to properly remove a TLV mapping, and to return an error if the
controller tries to remove a TLV mapping that is still used by any active flow.

To keep track of the usage of tun_metadata for each flow, two 'uint64_t'
bitmaps are introduce for the flow match and flow action respectively. We use
'uint64_t' as a bitmap since the 64 geneve TLV tunnel metadata are the only
available variable length mf_fields for now. We shall adopt general bitmap when
more variable length mf_fields are introduced. The bitmaps are configured
during the flow decoding process, and vswitchd use these bitmaps to increase or
decrease the ref counting when the flow is created or deleted.
