connmgr: Reinitialise controllers if protocols changes

This is allows protocol changes to take effect without needing
to restart ovs-vswitchd. However, connected controllers will
be disconnected regardless of if the OpenFlow protocol of the
session remains acceptable or not.

My feeling is that this is acceptable to avoid the complexity
of further modifications to ofconn and pvconn to allow live
updates of protocols.

include/openflow: Moved remaining common definitions from openflow-1.0.h

 Moved remaining common definitions from openflow-1.0.h to
 openflow-common.h and renamed 1.0 specific definitions with
 the "10" infix. Added hstamp rules for new headers, fixed
 non-ASCII characters in openflow-1.3.h, Commented out
 trailing zero-length data members.

Don't use error categories as if they were actually errors.

The OFPERR_* naming scheme is confusing, because it mixes categories with
specific errors.  Categories can't be encoded for sending to controllers,
so this is a problem.  This commit fixes up the cases where categories
were used as errors, replacing them by real errors types.

ofp-errors: Correctly encode errors as extensions or not depending on domain.

When ofp-errors was introduced, each OFPERR_* was either an extension or
not.  However, since then, some Nicira extension error code have been
given official error codes in later OpenFlow versions, so now whether an
OFPERR_* is an extension depends on the OpenFlow versions.  This means
that certain errors were encoded incorrectly as extensions in later
OpenFlow versions.  This commit fixes the problem.

This commit also adds a test that should prevent a regression.

ofp-errors: Remove OFPERR_* values for error categories.

The main use of OFPERR_* is to define specific errors, but OFPERR_* also
existed for each possible category of error, to enable partial decoding of
unknown specific errors within a known category.  However, in practice,
it was very easy to misuse the error categories as if they were particular
errors.  This commit removes the error category values, to make that error
impossible.

(If partial decoding of unknown specific errors turns out to have been a
valuable feature, then we can reintroduce it some other way.)

ofp-errors: Make every error encodable.

Until now, some values could not be encoded to send over OpenFlow, for a
few possible reasons.  This meant that, when one of these situations came
up, that a controller would not receive any notification that its request
failed.  This is not a good way to behave, so this commit changes the
error encoder so that, if a particular error cannot be encoded, it will
instead encode a fallback error code.

This commit also slightly simplifies ofconn_send_error() because it no
longer has to handle ofperr_encode_error() returning NULL.

datapath: Backport eth_mac_addr().

eth_mac_addr() has always been available on the kernels that we
support but the behavior has varied over time.  This provides a
backport that is equivalent to the current kernel, previous OVS
behavior, and the bridge.

rconn: Maintain original allowed_versions instead of substituting for zero.

rconn_create() was substituting OFPUTIL_DEFAULT_VERSIONS if an
allowed_versions of 0 was passed in.  At the same time,
connmgr_set_controllers() compared the adjusted value of allowed_versions
against the original value, saw that they were different, and concluded
that it should kill off and recreate the rconn with the "corrected"
allowed_versions.

This commit fixes the problem by no longer adjusting allowed_versions.
There is no need, because it is only used in contexts where the original
version is OK.

This problem was introduced by commit 90ef0206ea8f5a39 (connmgr:
Reinitialise controllers if protocols changes).

Bug #14126.
