[ovs-dev] [ofp-util logging 3/3] ofp-util: Improve log messages for bad Nicira extension actions.

check_action_exact_len() will always report that a Nicira extension action
has type 65535 (OFPAT_VENDOR), which isn't very helpful for debugging.
This introduces a new function that reports the subtype.

Also, log the subtype of unknown Nicira vendor actions.
