A "feature" that ovs-vswitchd inherited from its previous form of configuration is that every mirror has a name. Names are not necessarily meaningful, and there is no reason that they should be unique. But the existing implementation depends on them being unique within a given bridge, and if they are not drops one of the duplicates. This commit drops the uniqueness requirement. Instead, it distinguishes mirrors based on UUID alone. This commit does not drop the concept of names for mirrors. There is no technical reason to retain them, but it is possible that users find them useful for management reasons. The names appear in log messages related to mirrors, which may make the messages easier to understand. Bug #2416.
