This is part of support for (draft) OpenFlow 1.5 flow mod messages.

This provides the bulk of the ofproto side of support for
OpenFlow 1.5 group messages. It provides for encoding and decoding
of updated group mod and group desc reply messages. This includes
a new bucket format and their properties.
Open Flow 1.5 Groups also have properties but as no non-experimenter
properties are defined this patch does not provide parsing or encoding
of group properties.

This patch enables a user to set importance for a new rule via add-flow
OF1.4+ in the OVS and display the same via dump-flows command OF1.4+.
The changes are made in accordance with OpenFlow 1.4 specs to implement
eviction on the basis of "importance". This patch also enhances the
diff-flows & replace-flows CLI for addition of importance parameter in
a rule.
This doesn't actually implement eviction on the basis of importance, which
will happen in a later patch.

Until now, knowledge about OpenFlow has been somewhat scattered around the
tree. Some of it is in ofp-actions, some of it is in ofp-util, some in
separate files for individual actions, and most of the wire format
declarations are in include/openflow. This commit centralizes all of that
in ofp-actions.
Encoding and decoding OpenFlow actions was previously broken up by OpenFlow
version. This was OK with only OpenFlow 1.0 and 1.1, but each additional
version added a new wrapper around the existing ones, which started to
become hard to understand. This commit merges all of the processing for
the different versions, to the extent that they are similar, making the
version differences clearer.
Previously, ofp-actions contained OpenFlow encoding and decoding, plus
ofpact formatting, but OpenFlow parsing was separated into ofp-parse, which
seems an odd division. This commit moves the parsing code into ofp-actions
with the rest of the code.
Before this commit, the four main bits of code associated with a particular
ofpact--OpenFlow encoding and decoding, ofpact formatting and parsing--were
all found far away from each other. This often made it hard to see what
was going on for a particular ofpact, since you had to search around to
many different pieces of code. This commit reorganizes so that all of the
code for a given ofpact is in a single place.
As a code refactoring, this commit has little visible behavioral change.
The update to ofproto-dpif.at illustrates one minor bug fix as a side
effect: a flow that was added with the action "dec_ttl" (a standard
OpenFlow action) was previously formatted as "dec_ttl(0)" (using a Nicira
extension to specifically direct packets bounced to the controller because
of too-low TTL), but after this commit it is correctly formatted as
"dec_ttl".
The other visible effect is to drop support for the Nicira extension
dec_ttl action in OpenFlow 1.1 and later in favor of the equivalent
standard action. It seems unlikely that anyone was really using the
Nicira extension in OF1.1 or later.

This allows callers to be more uniform, because they don't have to pick
out whether they should parse actions or instructions based on the OpenFlow
version in use. It also allows the Write-Metadata instruction emulation
in OpenFlow 1.0 to be treated just as in OpenFlow 1.1 in the sense that
it is allowed in contexts where instructions are allowed in OpenFlow 1.1
and not elsewhere. (The changes in the tests reflect this more accurate
treatment.)

The ofproto implementation has had an abstraction layer on top of
OFPTC11_TABLE_MISS for a while. This commit pushes that abstraction layer
farther down, into ofp-util. This will be more useful in an upcoming
commit.
During the conversion I realized that the previous implementation was
not entirely correct. In particular, the OpenFlow 1.3+ "table mod" was
still being treated as if it had table miss configuration bits, even
though it doesn't. This commit fixes that issue and updates the tests.
OpenFlow 1.4 adds some more OFPTC_* flags that this new abstraction doesn't
yet support, but OVS didn't support those flags any better before this
commit, so abstracting those is left as future work.

Infrastructure to enable megaflow support for bond ports using
recirculation. This patch adds the following features:
* Generate RECIRC action when bond can benefit from recirculation.
* Populate post recirculation rules in a hidden table. Currently table 254.
* Uses post recirculation rules for bond rebalancing
* A recirculation implementation in dpif-netdev.
The goal of this patch is to be able to megaflow bond outputs and
thus greatly improve performance. However, this patch does not
actually improve the megaflow generation. It is left for a later commit.

A call to ofpbuf_put() may cause the data of the passed to be resized and
its base address to change. Thus the address returned by ofpbuf_put()
should be used as the base address rather than relying on the base address
prior to ofpbuf_put().
This avoids the following assertion in ofpact_update_len() from failing
when ofpbuf_put() causes a resize in parse_note(), parse_noargs_dec_ttl(),
parse_dec_ttl().
ovs_assert(ofpact == ofpacts->frame);
This restores pointer updates removed by and resolves a regression
introduced by cf3b7538666cd1ef ("ofpbuf: Abstract 'l2' pointer and document
usage conventions.").
Test cases have also been added to exercise this buffer resize in
parse_note(), parse_noargs_dec_ttl(), parse_dec_ttl().

Rename 'l2' to 'frame' and add new ofpbuf_set_frame() and ofpbuf_l2().
ofpbuf_set_frame() alse resets all the layer offsets. ofpbuf_l2()
returns NULL if the packet has no Ethernet header, as indicated either
by unset l3 offset or NULL frame pointer. Callers of ofpbuf_l2() are
supposed to check the return value, unless they can otherwise be sure
that the packet has a valid Ethernet header.
The recent commit 437d0d22 made some assumptions that were not valid
regarding the use of the 'l2' pointer in rconn module and by
compose_rarp(). This is now fixed as follows: rconn now relies on the
fact that once OpenFlow messages are given to rconn for transport, the
frame pointer is no longer needed to refer to the OpenFlow header; and
compose_rarp() now sets the frame pointer and offsets as expected.
In addition to storing network frames, ofpbufs are also used for
handling OpenFlow messages and action lists. lib/ofpbuf.h now has a
comment documenting the current usage conventions and invariants.

The formatting of the "enqueue" action uses a "q" to separate the port
number from the queue number, as in "enqueue:123q456". This is different
from every other action. This commit improves the situation by:
* Switching the formatting to use a colon (e.g. "enqueue:123:456"),
which is a little less odd-looking but still accepted by older
versions of Open vSwitch.
* Improving the parser to accept "enqueue(123,456)" also.

Implementation note:
All actions which modify a field are added to the action set
at the point where "set" actions should be added. In general
modifying a field many times is the same as only modifying it
the last time so the implementation simply adds all set actions to
the action set in the order they are specified. However, this breaks
down if two actions modify different portions of the same field.
Some examples.
1. load acting a subfield
2. mod_vlan_vid, mod_vlan_pcp
If this is considered to be a problem one possible solution would be to
either disallow all set actions other than set_field in write_actions.
Another possible solution is prohibit problematic the actions listed above
in write actions.

The OFPFF_* flags used in flow_mods are just confusing enough that it
seems worthwhile to try to abstract them out. In particular:
* OFPFF_EMERG was introduced in OF1.0, deleted in OF1.1, and then
its bit was reused for a different purpose in OF1.2.
* OFPFF_RESET_COUNTS was introduced in OF1.2 but the semantics that it
specifies are implied by "add" commands in earlier versions, so
proper translation requires the OpenFlow version number and flow_mod
command.
This commit does the abstraction.
