Currently brcompat does not work on master due to recent
datapath changes. We have decided to remove it as it is
not used very widely.

This commit switches to using a single backing datapath (called
"ovs-datapath") for all bridges of that datapath's type. Previously,
resources couldn't be shared across bridges, since each was in its own
datapath. This change will allow sharing of tunnels and cheaper patch
ports to be added in the future.
Since bridges share a common datapath, the ovs-dpctl commands won't
provide bridge-specific information. Users wishing to have that
information should use the new "ovs-appctl dpif/*" commands as
documented in ovs-vswitchd(8).

I field lots of questions about "where's the documentation?" Perhaps this
will help.
The changes to ovs-vsctl(8) add a couple of references to
ovs-vswitchd.conf.db(5) but they also rephrase a couple of paragraphs in
what seems to me an easier to understand style.

Does some cleanup and adds entries that cover:
- OVS isn't Linux-specific.
- Point out PORTING guide.
- Explanation of LTS releases.
- Supported versions of OpenFlow.
- Missing features from userspace datapath and upstream kernel
module.
