vswitchd: Allow user to configure controllers as "primary" or "service".
Normally it makes sense for an active connection to be primary and a
passive connection to be a service connection, but I've run into a corner
case where it is better for a passive connection to be a primary
connection. This specific case is for use with OFtest, which expects to be
a primary controller. However, it also wants to reconnect frequently,
which is slow for active connections because of the backoff; by
configuring a passive, primary controller, OFtest can reconnect as
frequently and as quickly as it wants, making the overall test much faster.
