Export standard sFlow LAG, PORTNAME and OPENFLOWPORT structures with each
counter-sample. Add unit-test for sFlow-LAG. Adjust other unit-tests to
accommodate these new annotations.
The sFlow-LAG structures are important for topology discovery, for
troubleshooting LAG instability, and for correctly combining
sFlow feeds from multiple sources.
The OPENFLOWPORT and PORTNAME structures are important for systems that
aim to combine sFlow monitoring with OpenFlow controls, as they
provide straightforward mapping (1) between sFlow agent IP and OpenFlow
datapath-id, and (2) between interface name,ifIndex and OpenFlow
port number.

The sFlow License was not on the list for the Fedora Project, but the
Sun Industry Standards Source License 1.1 was (and it has the right
properties). So this patch includes it as a licensing option in the
relevant places (COPYING and the lib/sflow* sources). Let me know
if this looks OK or not.

The C source and header files added in this commit is covered under the
InMon sFlow license at http://www.inmon.com/technology/sflowlicense.txt
The library requires -Wno-unused to compile without warnings, so this
commit adds that for building the sFlow code only. Automake can only
change compiler flags on a per-library or per-program basis, so sFlow
is built as a separate library.
The library will be used in upcoming commits.
