It's becoming more common that OSes include "ip" but not "ifconfig", so
it's best to avoid using the latter. This commit removes most references
to "ifconfig" and replaces them by "ip". It also adds a build-time check
to make it harder to introduce new uses of "ifconfig".
There are important differences between "ifconfig" and "ip":
- An "ifconfig" command that sets an IP address also brings the interface
up, but a similar "ip addr add" command does not, so it is often necessary
(or at least precautionary) to add an "ip link set <dev> up" command.
- "ifconfig" can infer a netmask from an IP adddress, but "ip" always
assumes /32 if none is given.
- "ifconfig" with address 0.0.0.0 removes any configured IP address, but
"ip addr add" does not, so "ifconfig <dev> 0.0.0.0" must be replaced by
"ip addr del" or "ip addr flush".

-Implemented support for ovs-test client, so that it could automatically
spawn an ovs-test server process from itself. This reduces the number of
commands the user have to type to get tests running.
-Automated creation of OVS bridges and ports (for VLAN and GRE tests), so that
user would not need to invoke ovs-vsctl manually to switch from direct, 802.1Q
and GRE tests.
-Fixed some pylint reported warnings.
-Fixed ethtool invocation so that we always try to query the physical interface
to get the driver name and version.
-and some others enhancements.
The new usage:
