Datapath IDs are unsigned, but dpid_from_string() was parsing them as
signed integers, which caused high values to be capped at INT64_MAX.
Also, document that datapath IDs may not be all-zero.

The length of a datapath was changed from 48 bits to 64 bits in OpenFlow
0.9. For parity, we increased the management id size to match.
NOTE: This is the final commit in the OpenFlow 0.9 set. Starting with
this commit, OVS is OpenFlow 0.9-compliant.
The bonding code in vswitch sends out gratuitous learning packets that
are supposed to teach switches but not cause anything else to happen on
the network. Some upcoming code wants to synthesize packets with similar
properties, so factor this code into a new function so that it can be
used in both places.
