The "struct odp_flow_key" used in the kernel datapath is conceptually
separate from the "flow_t" used in userspace, but until now we have
used the latter as a typedef for the former for convenience. This commit
separates them. This makes it possible in upcoming commits to change
them independently.
This is cross-ported from the "wdp" branch, which has had it for months.
The "port group" concept seems like a good one, but it has not been
used very much in userspace so far, so before we commit ourselves to
a frozen API that we must maintain forever, remove it. We can always
add it back in later as a new kind of vport.

Add a tun_id field which contains the ID of the encapsulating tunnel
on which a packet was received (0 if not received on a tunnel). Also
add an action which allows the tunnel ID to be set for outgoing
packets. At this point there aren't any tunnel implementations so
these fields don't have any effect.
The matching is exposed to OpenFlow by overloading the high 32 bits
of the cookie as the tunnel ID. ovs-ofctl is capable of turning
on this special behavior using a new "tun-cookie" command but this
command is intentially undocumented to avoid it being used without
a full understanding of the consequences.
Starting in OpenFlow 0.9, it is possible to match on the VLAN PCP
(priority) field and rewrite the IP ToS/DSCP bits. This check-in
provides that support and bumps the wire protocol number to 0x98.
NOTE: The wire changes come together over the set of OpenFlow 0.9 commits,
so OVS will not be OpenFlow-compatible with any official release between
this commit and the one that completes the set.
