ofproto-dpif: Allow forcing dp features.

Browse Source 
Datapath features can be set with dpif/set-dp-features unixctl command.
This command is not documented and therefore not supported in
production but only useful for unit tests.

A limitation was put in place originally to avoid enabling features at
runtime that were disabled at boot time to avoid breaking the datapath
in unexpected ways.

But, considering users should not use this command and it should only be
used for testing, we can assume whoever runs it knows what they are
doing. Therefore, the limitation should be bypass-able.

This patch adds a "--force" flag to the unixctl command to allow
bypassing the mentioned limitation.
