dpctl_unixctl_handler() didn't fully initialize the dpctl_params structure
it passed to the handler, which meant that dpctl_help() could see a nonnull
(indeterminate) 'usage' pointer and jump through it, causes a crash.
This commit fixes the crash by fully initializing the structure.
The dpctl/help command wasn't going to do anything useful anyway, so this
commit also stops registering it.

Sometimes we need to look at flow fields to understand how to parse
an attribute. However, masks don't have this information - just the
mask on the field. We already use the translated flow structure for
this purpose but this isn't always enough since sometimes we actually
need the raw netlink information. Fortunately, that is also readily
available so this passes it down from the appropriate callers.

With verbose dpctl, if userspace runs against an older kernel, every
entry will have "ufid:<empty>" at the beginning. This is unnecessary and
introduces an additional format for scripts to parse. Drop it.

We used to reserve DPDK lcore 0 for non pmd operations, making it
difficult to use core 0 for packet processing.
DPDK 2.0 properly support non EAL threads with lcore LCORE_ID_ANY.
Using non EAL threads for non pmd threads, we do not need to reserve
any core for non pmd operations

When dpctl commands are used to inspect a userspace datapath, but OVS
has also built-in support for the kernel datapath, an error message is
reported if the kernel module is not loaded. This commit suppresses the
message.

Fixes multiple weaknesses in dpctl error reporting:
* dpctl_set_if() didn't stop processing or report to the caller
attempts to change a port type or number.
* dpctl_set_if() didn't report the specifics when netdev_set_config()
reported an error setting port configuration (which can happen even
it returns 0).
* The unixctl handler didn't report errors encountered during command
processing through the JSON-RPC error mechanism, which meant that
ovs-appctl's return code wasn't useful (as ovs-dpctl's return code
is useful) for detecting errors in command execution.
At least the first of these is a regression from OVS 2.3.x.
A followup commit will add tests.

For testing purpose, developers may want to change the NON_PMD_CORE_ID
and use a different core for non-pmd threads. Since the netdev-dpdk
module is hard-coded to assert the non-pmd threads using core 0, such
change will cause abortion of OVS.
This commit fixes the assertion and allows changing NON_PMD_CORE_ID.

This commit changes the per dpif-netdev datapath flow-table/
classifier to per pmd-thread. As direct benefit, datapath
and flow statistics no longer need to be protected by mutex
or be declared as per-thread variable, since they are only
written by the owning pmd thread.
As side effects, the flow-dump output of userspace datapath
can contain overlapping flows. To reduce confusion, the dump
from different pmd thread will be separated by a title line.
In addition, the flow operations via 'ovs-appctl dpctl/*'
are modified so that if the given flow in_port corresponds
to a dpdk interface, the operation will be conducted to all
pmd threads recv from that interface (expect for flow-get
which will always be applied to non-pmd threads).

One of the limiting factors on the number of flows that can be supported
in the datapath is the overhead of assembling flow dump messages in the
datapath. This patch modifies the dpif to allow revalidators to skip
dumping the key, mask and actions from the datapath, by making use of
the unique flow identifiers introduced in earlier patches.
For each flow dump, the dpif user specifies whether to skip these
attributes, allowing the common case to only dump a pair of 128-bit ID
and flow stats. With datapath support, this increases the number of
flows that a revalidator can handle per second by 50% or more. Support
in dpif-netdev and dpif-netlink is added in this patch; kernel support
is left for future patches.

This patch modifies the dpif interface to allow flows to be manipulated
using a 128-bit identifier. This allows revalidator threads to perform
datapath operations faster, as they do not need to serialise the entire
flow key for operations like flow_get and flow_delete. In conjunction
with a future patch to simplify the dump interface, this provides a
significant performance benefit for revalidation.
When handlers assemble flow_put operations, they specify a unique
identifier (UFID) for each flow as it is passed down to the datapath to
be stored with the flow. The UFID is currently provided to handlers
by the dpif during upcall processing.
When revalidators assemble flow_get or flow_del operations, they may
specify the UFID for the flow along with the key. The dpif will decide
whether to send only the UFID to the datapath, or both the UFID and flow
key. The former is preferred for newer datapaths that support UFID,
while the latter is used for backwards compatibility.

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]
