OFPERR_NXBIC_DUP_TYPE is currently only used in
decode_openflow11_instructions() which is part of a non-NX extension
portion of the Open Flow 1.1+ implementation.
After recent discussion it has been decided to attempt to only use
standardised, albeit less-specific, errors unless errors arise from use of
an NX extension.
With the above in mind it seems appropriate to:
* Use OFPERR_OFPIT_BAD_INSTRUCTION in place of OFPERR_NXBIC_DUP_TYPE.
* Remove OFPERR_NXBIC_DUP_TYPE as it is no longer used.
An unfortunate side-effect of this change is that the error for
the case in question is now less-specific.

OpenFlow headers are not as uniform as they could be, with size, alignment,
and numbering changes from one version to another and across varieties
(e.g. ordinary messages vs. "stats" messages). Until now the Open vSwitch
internal APIs haven't done a good job of abstracting those differences in
header formats. This commit changes that; from this commit forward very
little code actually needs to understand the header format or numbering.
Instead, it can just encode or decode, or pull or put, the header using
a more abstract API using the ofpraw_, ofptype_, and other APIs in the
new ofp-msgs module.

OpenFlow switching monitoring and controller coordination can be made more
efficient if the switch can notify a controller of flow table changes as
they occur, rather than periodically polling for changes. This commit
implements such a feature.
Feature #6633.

So far, only the Apply-Actions instruction is supported, and only
actions that have identical semantics to OpenFlow 1.0 actions.

* Where Open Flow 1.2 breaks apart error codes defined
in previous versions, provide all new definitions to
previous versions and map the numeric error code to
the first first definition supplied in ofp-errors.h.
The case handled so far is:
OFPERR_OFPBIC_BAD_EXP_TYPE -> { OFPERR_OFPBIC_BAD_EXPERIMENTER,
OFPERR_OFPBIC_BAD_EXP_TYPE }
* Where Open Flow 1.2 adds error codes that were previously
defined as Nicira extension errors define the later in terms
of the new codes.

In general, I guess that the common case is for most error codes to be
retained without change in future versions of OpenFlow, so to me it seems
best to use the "+" version "by default".

Nicira's controllers are somewhat heterogeneous, so that particular
"packet-in" messages should be directed to particular controllers. This
new Nicira extension action allows designating a controller or controllers
to receive the "packet-in" using a 16-bit integer ID.
The new NXAST_CONTROLLER action also specifies the "reason" code to include
in the "packet-in" message. This is particularly useful for simulating a
"no-match" "packet-in" using a rule.

This commit switches from using the actual protocol values of error codes
internally in Open vSwitch, to using abstract values that are translated to
and from protocol values at message parsing and serialization time. I
believe that this makes the code easier to read and to write.
This is also one step along the way toward OpenFlow 1.1 support because
OpenFlow 1.1 renumbered a bunch of error codes.
