datapath-windows: Rename files.

This patch includes the file renaming and accommodations needed for the file
renaming to build the forwarding extension for Hyper-V.

This patch is also a follow-up for the thread:

Changing hash used for selecting bucket in a group action

Current hash uses just the dl_dst field. This patch expands the hash  to
include all L2, L3 and L4 fields, allowing for more balanced selection.

datapath: Always initialize fix_segment for GSO packet.

OVS tunnel compat code depends on this function pointer to
handle GSO packet. Currently we do not initialize for all
GRE GSO packets. Following patch fixes that.

lib/ovs-atomic: Clarified comments on ovs_refcount_unref().

ovs_refcount_unref() needs to syncronize with the other instances of
itself rather than with ovs_refcount_ref().

lib/ovs-atomic: Add helpers for relaxed atomic access.

When an atomic variable is not serving to synchronize threads about
the state of other (atomic or non-atomic) variables, no memory barrier
is needed with the atomic operation.  However, the default memory
order for an atomic operation is memory_order_seq_cst, which always
causes a system-wide locking of the memory bus and prevents both the
CPU and the compiler from reordering memory accesses accross the
atomic operation.  This can add considerable stalls as each atomic
operation (regardless of memory order) always includes a memory
access.

In most cases we can let the compiler reorder memory accesses to
minimize the time we spend waiting for the completion of the atomic
memory accesses by using the relaxed memory order.  This patch adds
helpers to make such accesses a little easier on the eye (and the
fingers :-), but does not try to hide them completely.

Following patches make use of these and remove all the (implied)
memory_order_seq_cst use from the OVS code base.

lib/bfd: Used relaxed atomics and optimize bfd_should_process_flow().

The atomics here do not synchronize the state of any other variables,
so we can use atomic_count and relaxed atomics.

bfd_should_process_flow() is rearranged to set the megaflow mask bits
only if necessary, and to avoid the atomic operation on non-BFD
packets.
