I wish to add some unixctl commands to the Python vlog module. However,
importing ovs.unixctl in ovs.vlog creates a circular dependency, because
ovs.unixctl imports ovs.vlog already. The solution, in this commit, is to
break the unixctl module into three parts: a register (ovs.unixctl) that
does not depend on ovs.vlog, and client (ovs.unixctl.client) and server
(ovs.unixctl.server) modules that do. This breaks the circular dependency.

We've seen some unixctl tests hang indefinitely which makes them
difficult to debug. ovs-appctl and appctl.py calls to timeout
instead.

Many of the currently implemented Python daemons, and likely many
daemons to be implemented in the future, could benefit from unixctl
support even if only to implement "exit" and "version" commands.
This patch implements unixctl in Python.
