ofp-monitor: Extend Flow Monitoring support for OF 1.0-1.2 with Nicira Extensions.

Currently OVS supports flow-monitoring for OpenFlow 1.0 and Nicira Extenstions.
Any other OpenFlow versioned messages are not accepted. This change will allow
OpenFlow1.0-1.2 Flow Monitoring with Nicira extensions be accepted. Also made
sure that flow-monitoring updates, flow monitoring pause messages, resume
messages are sent in the same OpenFlow version as that of flow-monitor request.

Description of changes:

1. Generate ofp-msgs.inc to be able to support 1.0-1.2 Flow Monitoring messages.
include/openvswitch/ofp-msgs.h

2. Support vconn to accept user specified version and use it for vconn
flow-monitoring session
ofproto/ofproto.c

3. Modify APIs to use protocol as an argument to encode and decode messages
include/openvswitch/ofp-monitor.h
lib/ofp-monitor.c
ofproto/connmgr.c
ofproto/connmgr.h
ofproto/ofproto.c

4. Modified following testcases to be verified across supported OF Versions
    ofproto - flow monitoring
    ofproto - flow monitoring with !own
