Define struct eth_addr and use it instead of a uint8_t array for all
ethernet addresses in OVS userspace. The struct is always the right
size, and it can be assigned without an explicit memcpy, which makes
code more readable.
"struct eth_addr" is a good type name for this as many utility
functions are already named accordingly.
struct eth_addr can be accessed as bytes as well as ovs_be16's, which
makes the struct 16-bit aligned. All use seems to be 16-bit aligned,
so some algorithms on the ethernet addresses can be made a bit more
efficient making use of this fact.
As the struct fits into a register (in 64-bit systems) we pass it by
value when possible.
This patch also changes the few uses of Linux specific ETH_ALEN to
OVS's own ETH_ADDR_LEN, and removes the OFP_ETH_ALEN, as it is no
longer needed.
This work stemmed from a desire to make all struct flow members
assignable for unrelated exploration purposes. However, I think this
might be a nice code readability improvement by itself.

Commit 6b59b543 (ovs-thread: Use fair (but nonrecursive)
rwlocks on glibc.) changed the rwlocks to nonrecursive,
writer-biased lock. It also made the following deadlock
possible.
Assume BFD is used on both end of a link. Consider the
following events:
1. Handler at one end received the BFD control packet with
POLL flag set while holding the read lock of 'xlate_rwlock'.
Since a BFD control packet with FINAL flag set should be
sent back immediately, it calls the
ofproto_dpif_monitor_port_send_soon(), in which, it tries
to grab the 'monitor_mutex'.
2. The main thread needs to configure the ofproto-dpif-xlate
module. It tries to grab the write lock of 'xlate_rwlock'
and is blocked by event 1.
3. The monitor thread, after acquired the 'monitor_mutex',
wants to acquire the read lock of 'xlate_rwlock'.
Since the rwlock is now writer-biased, the attempt of acquiring
read lock in event 3 will be blocked by event 2. This will
subsequently cause the block of event 1, since monitor thread
is holding the 'monitor_mutex'. So the deadlock happens.
This commit resolves the above issue by removing the requirement of
acquiring 'monitor_mutex' in ofproto_dpif_monitor_port_send_soon().

Add inlined generic accessors for miniflow integer type fields, and a
new miniflow_get_tcp_flags() usinge these. These will be used in a
later patch.
Some definitions also used in lib/packets.h had to be moved there to
resolve circular include dependencies. Similarly, some inline
functions using struct flow are now in lib/flow.h. IMO this is
cleaner, since now the lib/flow.h need not be included from
lib/packets.h.

Commit 307464a11 (ofproto-dpif-monitor: Use heap to order the mport
wakeup time.) makes bfd only send packet at specified periodic instant.
This fails to meet the RFC5880 requirement, which requires bfd send
FINAL immediately after receiving POLL.
This commit fixes the above issue by scheduling bfd to send FINAL
within 100 ms after receiving POLL.

This commit moves the ofproto-dpif-monitor module into a
dedicated thread. This helps eliminate the burden of main
thread having to wake up very frequently for periodic
interface monitoring (bfd, cfm). Thusly, this commit greatly
increases the number of bfd/cfm sessions that can be supported
by ovs.

This commit adds a new module ofproto-dpif-monitor in ofproto
directory. This module is in charge of executing the periodic
functions of monitoring code (e.g. bfd and cfm).
