ovs-openflowd: Standardize on OpenFlow description option
ovs-vswitchd used a slightly different way to set the manufacturer, hardware revision, software revision, serial number, and datapath description than ovs-openflowd. This standardizes on the ovs-vswitch style and describes how to use them in the man page.

+\fB--datapath-id=\fIdpid\fR
+Sets \fIdpid\fR, which must consist of exactly 16 hexadecimal digits,
+as the datapath ID that the switch will use to identify itself to the
+OpenFlow controller.
+
+If this option is omitted, the default datapath ID is taken from the
+Ethernet address of the datapath's local port (which is typically
+randomly generated) in the lower 48 bits and zeros in the upper 16.
+
+.TP
+\fB--mgmt-id=\fImgmtid\fR
+Sets \fImgmtid\fR, which must consist of exactly 12 hexadecimal
+digits, as the switch's management ID.
+
+If this option is omitted, the management ID defaults to 0, signaling
+to the controller that management is supported but not configured.
+
+.TP
+\fB--mfr-desc=\fIdesc\fR
+Set the description of the switch's manufacturer to \fIdesc\fR, which
+may contain up to 255 ASCII characters.
+
+.TP
+\fB--hw-desc=\fIdesc\fR
+Set the description of the switch's hardware revision to \fIdesc\fR, which
+may contain up to 255 ASCII characters.
+

+\fB--sw-desc=\fIdesc\fR
+Set the description of the switch's software revision to \fIdesc\fR, which
+may contain up to 255 ASCII characters.
+

+\fB--serial-desc=\fIdesc\fR
+Set the description of the switch's serial number to \fIdesc\fR, which
+may contain up to 31 ASCII characters.
+
+.TP
+\fB--dp-desc=\fIdesc\fR
+Set the description of the datapath to \fIdesc\fR, which may contain up to
+255 ASCII characters. Note that this field is intended for debugging
+purposes and is not guaranteed to be unique and should not be used as
+the primary identifier of the datapath.
