This commit refactors the generic implementation. The
goal of this refactor is to simplify the code to enable
"specialization" of the functions at compile time.
Given compile-time optimizations, the compiler is able
to unroll loops, and create optimized code sequences due
to compile time knowledge of loop-trip counts.
In order to enable these compiler optimizations, we must
refactor the code to pass the loop-trip counts to functions
as compile time constants.
This patch allows the number of miniflow-bits set per "unit"
in the miniflow to be passed around as a function argument.
Note that this patch does NOT yet take advantage of doing so,
this is only a refactor to enable it in the next patches.

This commit moves some data-structures to be available
in the dpif-netdev-private.h header. This allows specific
implementations of the subtable lookup function to include
just that header file, and not require that the code exists
in dpif-netdev.c
