Introduce an alternative OpenFlow implementation, "native",
implemented using Ryu ofproto python library from Ryu SDN Framework.
Make it selectable with of_driver=native agent option.
The aim is to replace the existing ovs-ofctl based implementation
eventually.
It introduces node-local OpenFlow controller embedded in
OVS agent. Benefits include:
* Reduce the overhead of invoking ovs-ofctl command (and associated
rootwrap)
* Make future uses of OpenFlow asynchronous messages (e.g. Packet-In,
Port-Status, etc) easier
* Make XenAPI integration simpler
Highlights:
* Switch to OpenFlow 1.3.
* Make OVS-agent act as an OpenFlow controller
* Configure OVS on the node to connect to the controller
