Support accepting and displaying port names in OVS tools.
Until now, most ovs-ofctl commands have not accepted names for ports, only
numbers, and have not been able to display port names either. It's a lot
easier for users if they can use and see meaningful names instead of
arbitrary numbers. This commit adds that support.
For backward compatibility, only interactive ovs-ofctl commands by default
display port names; to display them in scripts, use the new --names
option.
