> Fix some uses of type on netdev_open.

> We established that there are two types: the database type and the netdev
> type.
> And that ofproto and dpif layers use the netdev type and return it when
> queried.
>
> Some calls to netdev_open should use NULL instead of system. If there is no
> netdev opened, system will be used as the default, but if a different type
> is
> opened, the caller does not expect it to be of type system.
>
> In other cases, the use of internal is incorrect and the appropriate
> port_open_type should be used instead.
>
> Finally, we make netdev_open return an error when a netdev of a different
> type
> than the one requested already exists.
>
> This will fix some bugs and alert users when conflicting interfaces exist
> on the
> system and the database. For example, when a user configures an interface
> with a
> type other than system, and there is a system interface with the same name.

>   in-band: don't use system type when opening netdev
>   netdev-vport: don't use system type when opening netdev
>   dpif-netdev: use the open_type when creating the local port
>   netdev: do not allow devices to be opened with conflicting types
