The "VLAN splinters" feature works around buggy device drivers in
old Linux versions. But support for the old kernel is dropped, So
now all supported kernel vlan drivers should be working fine with
OVS kernel datapath.
Following patch removes this deprecated feature.

It isn't otherwise useful and in fact hurts performance so it's disabled
without --enable-dummy.
An upcoming commit will make use of this.

Until now there have been two variants for --enable-dummy:
* --enable-dummy: This adds support for "dummy" dpif and netdev.
* --enable-dummy=override: In addition, this replaces *every* existing
dpif and netdev by the dummy type.
The latter is useful for testing but it defeats the possibility of using
the userspace native tunneling implementation (because all the tunnel
netdevs get replaced by dummy netdevs). Thus, this commit adds a third
variant:
* --enable-dummy=system: This replaces the "system" dpif and netdev
by dummies but leaves the others untouched.

Plain "--enable-dummy" just creates new dummy dpif and netdev classes.
This commit makes "--enable-dummy=override" go a step farther and actually
delete and replace all the existing dpif and netdev classes by copies of
the dummy class.
This is useful for testing in an environment where changing the classes in
Bridge or Interface records is challenging.
