[ovs-dev] [PATCH] ovs-ofctl: Improve usage message.

TARGET and SWITCH are different because TARGET can refer to a switch or a
controller whereas SWITCH must be a switch, but TARGET wasn't defined
before.

Also, TARGET seems a little more user-friendly than the VCONN that was used
here before.

Bug #7736.
