This seems like a more reasonable way to do things given that we will soon
need "OpenFlow 1.1 and later" and "OpenFlow 1.1 only" keywords.

Nicira's controllers are somewhat heterogeneous, so that particular
"packet-in" messages should be directed to particular controllers. This
new Nicira extension action allows designating a controller or controllers
to receive the "packet-in" using a 16-bit integer ID.
The new NXAST_CONTROLLER action also specifies the "reason" code to include
in the "packet-in" message. This is particularly useful for simulating a
"no-match" "packet-in" using a rule.
Feature #8946.

This commit switches from using the actual protocol values of error codes
internally in Open vSwitch, to using abstract values that are translated to
and from protocol values at message parsing and serialization time. I
believe that this makes the code easier to read and to write.
This is also one step along the way toward OpenFlow 1.1 support because
OpenFlow 1.1 renumbered a bunch of error codes.
