Several OVS structs contain embedded named unions, like this:
struct {
...
union {
...
} u;
};
C11 standardized a feature that many compilers already implemented
anyway, where an embedded union may be unnamed, like this:
struct {
...
union {
...
};
};
This is more convenient because it allows the programmer to omit "u."
in many places. OVS already used this feature in several places. This
commit embraces it in several others.

Until now, every time the JSON parser added an object member, it made an
extra copy of the member name and then freed the original copy. This is
wasteful, so this commit eliminates the extra copy.

After profiling OVSDB insert performance it was found
that some significant portion of its time OVSDB is
calling the function json_clone.
Also, the current usages of json_clone never modify the json,
just keeps it to prevent it to be freed.
With that in mind the struct json, json_create, json_clone
and json_destroy were modified to keep a count of how many
references of the json struct are left. Only when that count
reaches zero the json struct is freed.
The old "json_clone" function was renamed as "json_deep_clone".
Some examples of the performance difference:
In these tests a test table with 4 columns (string, string,
bool, integer) was used. All the tests used "commit block".

To easily allow both in- and out-of-tree building of the Python
wrapper for the OVS JSON parser (e.g. w/ pip), move json.h to
include/openvswitch. This also requires moving lib/{hmap,shash}.h.
Both hmap.h and shash.h were #include-ing "util.h" even though the
headers themselves did not use anything from there, but rather from
include/openvswitch/util.h. Fixing that required including util.h
in several C files mostly due to OVS_NOT_REACHED and things like
xmalloc.
