ofproto-dpif-upcall: Fix a bug.

Commit 7d170098 (ofproto-dpif-upcall: Remove the flow_dumper thread.)
initialized the memory barrier inside the udpif_start_threads() function.
However, the udpif_start_threads() function does not check the number of
revalidator threads specified in udpif.  So, when the number is zero, it
causes the error in barrier initialization.  This could happen when the
other_config:flow-restore-wait is set and the udpif_flush() is called.

This commit fixes the issue, by checking the specified number of threads
in udpif_start_threads().

revalidator: Fix ukey stats cache updating.

revalidate_ukey() had a bug where it would update the ukey->stats even
if it decided not to push stats (as an optimisation). ukey->stats should
only be updated when those stats are pushed.

This bug would arise in the following situation:
* A flow has been dumped before.
* The flow needs to be revalidated.
* The flow is low-throughput.
* The flow has new statistics to push.

Such cases rely on flow deletion to update the stats. However, that code
pushes the delta between the ukey->stats and the final flow dump. If the
ukey stats cache is updated without the stats being pushed, those stats
would be lost.

This caused intermittent testsuite failures on "learning action -
self-modifying flow with idle_timeout". Introduced by 698ffe3623f1b630ae
"revalidator: Only revalidate high-throughput flows."

Bug #1238927.

tests: Fix race condition waiting for monitor thread.

Occasionally, test #770 "ofproto-dpif - ofproto-dpif-monitor 1" would
fail, because the testsuite looked in the logs for evidence of a thread
being created, but it checked before vswitchd was able to spawn the
thread.

This patch fixes the race by modifying the commands that check for
creation/termination of threads to wait until they see the messages
instead.

bridge: Refactor the 'Instant' stats logic.

This commit refactors the 'Instant' stats related logic in bridge.c
by moving it into bridge_run().

This change brings the following effects:

1. bridge.c will wait on the global connectivity sequence number when
   there is no pending instant stats transaction.  and the main thread
   will no longer be waken up every 100 ms for 'Instant' stats check.
   the related overhead is eliminated.

2. the netdev's sequence number is used to avoid updating unchanged netdev
   status.  so, the update is more efficient.

Python Logging Formatting Improvements

The Open vSwitch daemons written in C support user-configured logging
patterns as described in ovs-appctl(8). This commit adds this capability
to the daemons written in Python.

- Add a '__log_patterns' attribute to the Vlog class
- Populate this using the default patterns in ovs-appctl(8)
- Add a '__start_time' attribute to the Vlog class to support '%r'
- Update the '_log' method to build the log message according to the
  pattern
- Add a 'set_pattern' method to allow the default patterns to be changed
- Update 'set_levels_from_string' to support setting the pattern from a
  string

ovs-thread: Make caller provide thread name when creating a thread.

Thread names are occasionally very useful for debugging, but from time to
time we've forgotten to set one.  This commit adds the new thread's name
as a parameter to the function to start a thread, to make that mistake
impossible.  This also simplifies code, since two function calls become
only one.

This makes a few other changes to the thread creation function:

    * Since it is no longer a direct wrapper around a pthread function,
      rename it to avoid giving that impression.

    * Remove 'pthread_attr_t *' param that every caller supplied as NULL.

    * Change 'pthread *' parameter into a return value, for convenience.

The system-stats code hadn't set a thread name, so this fixes that issue.

This patch is a prerequisite for making RCU report the name of a thread
that is blocking RCU synchronization, because the easiest way to do that is
for ovsrcu_quiesce_end() to record the current thread's name.
ovsrcu_quiesce_end() is called before the thread function is called, so it
won't get a name set within the thread function itself.  Setting the thread
name earlier, as in this patch, avoids the problem.

ovs-thread: Add checking for mutex and rwlock initialization.

With glibc, a mutex or rwlock filled with all-zero-bytes is properly
initialized for use, but this is not true for any other libc that OVS
supports.  However, OVS gets a lot more testing with glibc than any other
libc.  This means that developers keep introducing bugs that do not
manifest on the main development platform.

This commit should help avoid the problem, by reusing the existing 'where'
members to indicate whether a mutex or rwlock has been initialized.

tests: Fix up "ofproto-dpif - ofproto-dpif-monitor 1".

Commit 1335a8d578b03e (tests: Fix race condition waiting for monitor
thread.) fixed a race condition in a test.  Commit 8ba0a5227f6 (ovs-thread:
Make caller provide thread name when creating a thread.) slightly changed
the output that the test checked, breaking the test.  However, I was used
to the test occasionally failing due to the race (not realizing that the
race had been fixed) so I applied the commit anyway.

This commit fixes the broken test.
