Currently, the netdev's speed is being calculated by taking the link's
feature bits (using netdev_get_features()) and transforming them into
bps.
This mechanism can be both inaccurate and difficult to maintain, mainly
because we currently use the feature bits supported by OpenFlow which
would have to be extended to support all new feature bits of all netdev
implementations while keeping the OpenFlow API intact.
In order to expose the link speed accurately for all current and future
hardware, add a new netdev API call that allows the implementations to
provide the current and maximum link speeds in Mbps.
Internally, the logic to get the maximum supported speed still relies on
feature bits so it might still get out of sync in the future. However,
the maximum configurable speed is not used as much as the current speed
and these feature bits are not exposed through the netdev interface so
it should be easier to add more.
Use this new function instead of netdev_get_features() where the link
speed is needed.
As a consequence of this patch, link speeds of cards is properly
reported (internally in OVSDB) even if not supported by OpenFlow.
A test verifies this behavior using a tap device.
Also, in order to avoid using the old, this patch adds a checkpatch.py
warning if the old API is used.

Add support to count upcall packets per port, both succeed and failed,
which is a better way to see how many packets upcalled on each interface.

100 Mbps was a fair assumption 13 years ago. Modern days 10 Gbps seems
like a good value in case no information is available otherwise.
The change mainly affects QoS which is currently limited to 100 Mbps if
the user didn't specify 'max-rate' and the card doesn't report the
speed or OVS doesn't have a predefined enumeration for the speed
reported by the NIC.
Calculation of the path cost for STP/RSTP is also affected if OVS is
unable to determine the link speed.
Lower link speed adapters are typically good at reporting their speed,
so chances for overshoot should be low. But newer high-speed adapters,
for which there is no speed enumeration or if there are some other
issues, will not suffer that much.

Until now, the ofp-print code has had a lot of logic specific to
individual messages. This code is better put with the other code specific
to those messages, so this commit starts to migrate it.
There is more work of a similar type to do, but this is a reasonable start.

- New get_custom_stats interface function is added to netdev. It
allows particular netdev implementation to expose custom
counters in dictionary format (counter name/counter value).
- New statistics are retrieved using experimenter code and
are printed as a result to ofctl dump-ports.
- New counters are available for OpenFlow 1.4+.
- New statistics are printed to output via ofctl only if those
are present in reply message.
- New statistics definition is added to include/openflow/intel-ext.h.
- Custom statistics are implemented only for dpdk-physical
port type.
- DPDK-physical implementation uses xstats to collect statistics.
Only dropped and error counters are exposed.

Implementation of new statistics extension for DPDK ports:
- Add new counters definition to netdev struct and open flow,
based on RFC2819.
- Initialize netdev statistics as "filtered out"
before passing it to particular netdev implementation
(because of that change, statistics which are not
collected are reported as filtered out, and some
unit tests were modified in this respect).
- New statistics are retrieved using experimenter code and
are printed as a result to ofctl dump-ports.
- New counters are available for OpenFlow 1.4+.
- Add new vendor id: INTEL_VENDOR_ID.
- New statistics are printed to output via ofctl only if those
are present in reply message.
- Add new file header: include/openflow/intel-ext.h which
contains new statistics definition.
- Extended statistics are implemented only for dpdk-physical
and dpdk-vhost port types.
- Dpdk-physical implementation uses xstats to collect statistics.
- Dpdk-vhost implements only part of statistics (RX packet sized
based counters).
