ofp-actions: Refactor set_field tokenization.

Combine the codepaths for splitting "set_field" and "reg_load" string
arguments into the value, key, and delimiter component. The only
user-visible change is that reg_load will now provide a more meaningful
error message when parsing input such as "reg_load:1".
