Add support for 802.1ad (QinQ tunneling)
Flow key handling changes:
- Add VLAN header array in struct flow, to record multiple 802.1q VLAN
headers.
- Add dpif multi-VLAN capability probing. If datapath supports
multi-VLAN, increase the maximum depth of nested OVS_KEY_ATTR_ENCAP.
Refactor VLAN handling in dpif-xlate:
- Introduce 'xvlan' to track VLAN stack during flow processing.
- Input and output VLAN translation according to the xbundle type.
Push VLAN action support:
- Allow ethertype 0x88a8 in VLAN headers and push_vlan action.
- Support push_vlan on dot1q packets.
Use other_config:vlan-limit in table Open_vSwitch to limit maximum VLANs
that can be matched. This allows us to preserve backwards compatibility.
Add test cases for VLAN depth limit, Multi-VLAN actions and QinQ VLAN
handling
