This commit introduces a new data structure used for receiving packets from
netdevs and passing them to dpifs.
The purpose of this change is to allow storing some private data for each
packet. The subsequent commits make use of it.

DPDK can receive multiple packets but current netdev API does
not allow that. Following patch allows dpif-netdev receive batch
of packet in a rx_recv() call for any netdev port. This will be
used by dpdk-netdev.

Update the netdev_class so that struct ofpbuf * is passed to rx_recv()
to provide both the data and size of the data to read a packet into.
On success, update struct ofpbuf size inside netdev_class rx_recv
implementation and return 0. This moves logic from the caller.
On error a positive error code is returned, whereas previously
a negative error code was returned. This is a more common convention.
This patch should not have any behavioural changes.
This patch is in preparation for the netdev-linux variant of rx_recv()
making use of headroom in the struct ofpbuf * parameter to push a VLAN tag
obtained from auxdata.

Previously, we tracked status changes for ofports on a per-device basis.
Each time in the main thread's loop, we would inspect every ofport
to determine whether the status had changed for corresponding devices.
This patch replaces the per-netdev change_seq with a global 'struct seq'
which tracks status change for all ports. In the average case where
ports are not constantly going up or down, this allows us to check the
sequence once per main loop and not poll any ports. In the worst case,
execution is expected to be similar to how it is currently.
In a test environment of 5000 internal ports and 50 tunnel ports with
bfd, this reduces average CPU usage of the main thread from about 40% to
about 35%.

The MSVC C library printf() implementation does not support the 'z', 't',
'j', or 'hh' format specifiers. This commit changes the Open vSwitch code
to avoid those format specifiers, switching to standard macros from
<inttypes.h> where available and inventing new macros resembling them
where necessary. It also updates CodingStyle to specify the macros' use
and adds a Makefile rule to report violations.

We've seen a number of deadlocks in the tree since thread safety was
introduced. So far, all of these are self-deadlocks, that is, a single
thread acquiring a lock and then attempting to re-acquire the same lock
recursively. When this has happened, the process simply hung, and it was
somewhat difficult to find the cause.
POSIX "error-checking" mutexes check for this specific problem (and
others). This commit switches from other types of mutexes to
error-checking mutexes everywhere that we can, that is, everywhere that
we're not using recursive mutexes. This ought to help find problems more
quickly in the future.
There might be performance advantages to other kinds of mutexes in some
cases. However, the existing mutex type choices were just guesses, so I'd
rather go for easy detection of errors until we know that other mutex
types actually perform better in specific cases. Also, I did a quick
microbenchmark of glibc mutex types on my host and found that the
error checking mutexes weren't any slower than the other types, at least
when the mutex is uncontended.

This is the same lifecycle used in the ofproto provider interface.
Compared to the previous netdev provider interface, it has the
advantage that the netdev top layer can control when any given
netdev becomes visible to the outside world.

The only uses of 'af_inet_sock', in both drivers, were ioctls, so it seemed
like a good abstraction to write a function that just does such an ioctl,
and to factor out shared code into socket-util.

The data items returned by netdev_get_devices() are "struct netdev *"s.
The code fixed up by this commit used them as "struct netdev_bsd *",
which happens to work because struct netdev happens to be at offset 0 in
each struct but it's better to do a proper cast in case someday
struct netdev gets moved to a nonzero offset.

netdev_bsd_get_in4() did not set anything in its 'netmask' output argument
if the IPv4 address was cached, leaving it indeterminate. It would also
mark the cache as valid even if there was an error retrieving the netmask.
This fixes both problems.

where interface renaming is not supported (NetBSD), remember both of
our netdev name and the correspoinding kernel name separately.
the latter is necessary to talk with kernel using interface names.
eg. ifioctls, bpf
XXX there should be a proper way to query kernel name.

The distinction between struct netdev_dev and struct netdev has always
been confusing. Now that previous commits have eliminated all interesting
state from struct netdev, this commit deletes it and renames struct
netdev_dev to take its place. Now the situation makes much more sense and
I won't have to continue making embarrassed explanations in the future.
Good riddance.

Separating packet capture from "struct netdev" means that there is no
