Open vSwitch already handles a few different protocol variations, but it
does so in a nonuniform manner:
- OpenFlow 1.0 and NXM flow formats are distinguished using the NXFF_*
constant values from nicira-ext.h.
- The "flow_mod_table_id" feature setting is maintained in ofproto as
part of an OpenFlow connection's (ofconn's) state.
There's no way to easily communicate this state among components. It's
not much of a problem yet, but as more protocol support is added it seems
better to have an abstract, uniform way to represent protocol versions and
variants. This commit implements that by introducing a new type
"enum ofputil_protocol". Each ofputil_protocol value represents a variant
of a protocol version. Each value is a separate bit, so a single enum
can also represent a set of protocols, which is often useful as well.

Make the string parameter of parse_ofp_flow_stats_request_str() and
parse_ofp_flow_mod_str() const
* Both parse_ofp_flow_stats_request_str() and parse_ofp_flow_mod_str()
only pass their string parameter to it to parse_ofp_str() which treats
the parameter as const.
* do_flow_mod__() may pass a const string as the string argument to
parse_ofp_flow_stats_request_str() and parse_ofp_flow_mod_str()

OpenFlow commands have several idiosyncratic fields that are used in some
cases and ignored in others. Until now, ovs-ofctl has been lax about
allowing some of them in places where they are ignored. This commit
tightens the checks to exactly what is allowed.
Bug #5979.
Reported-by: Reid Price <reid@nicira.com>
When an error is encountered while parsing flows from a file, ovs-ofctl doesn't
print the erroneous flow, so it's not always obvious which flow is causing
the error. Print the flow before the error message to make it clear.
This implements basic multiple table support in ofproto and supporting
libraries and utilities. The design is the same as the one that has been
on the Open vSwitch "wdp" branch for a long time. There is no support for
multiple tables in the software switch implementation (ofproto-dpif), only
a set of hooks for other switch implementations to use.
To allow controllers to add flows in a particular table, Open vSwitch adds
an OpenFlow 1.0 extension called NXT_FLOW_MOD_TABLE_ID.
An upcoming commit will add the ability to load OpenFlow rules into
ovs-controller. Break out string-to-openflow parsing so that
ovs-ofctl and ovs-controller can use the same code.
