Until now, printing names in "ovs-dpctl dump-flows" was tied to the overall
output verbosity, which in practice meant that to see port names a user had
to see a distracting amount of verbosity. This decouples names from
verbosity.
I'd like to make showing names the default for interactive usage, but so
far names aren't accepted in input so that would frustrate cut-and-paste,
which is an important use of "ovs-dpctl dump-flows" output.

ovs-dpctl and ovs-ofctl lack a read-only option to prevent
running of commands that perform read-write operations. Add
it and the necessary scaffolding to each.

This commit implements the 'list-commands' command for ovs-dpctl
and ovs-appctl dpctl/* commands. The function will print the
usage string for each subcommand.

This commit introduces multiple appctl commands (dpctl/*)
They are needed to interact with userspace datapaths (dpif-netdev), because the
ovs-dpctl command runs in a separate process and cannot see the userspace
datapaths inside vswitchd.
This change moves most of the code of utilities/ovs-dpctl.c in lib/dpctl.c.
Both the ovs-dpctl command and the ovs-appctl dpctl/* commands make calls to
lib/dpctl.c functions, to interact with datapaths.
The code from utilities/ovs-dpctl.c has been moved to lib/dpctl.c and has been
changed for different reasons:
- An exit() call in the old code made perfectly sense. Now (since the code
can be run inside vswitchd) it would terminate the daemon. Same reasoning
can be applied to ovs_fatal_*() calls.
- The lib/dpctl.c code _should_ not leak memory.
- All the print* have been replaced with a function pointer provided by the
caller, since this code can be run in the ovs-dpctl process (in which
case we need to print to stdout) or in response to a unixctl request (and
in this case we need to send everything through a socket, using JSON
encapsulation).
The syntax is
ovs-appctl dpctl/(COMMAND) [OPTIONS] [PARAMETERS]
while the ovs-dpctl syntax (which _should_ remain the same after this change)
is
ovs-dpctl [OPTIONS] (COMMAND) [PARAMETERS]
