[ovs-dev] [PATCH v2] ofp-ed-props: Fix using uninitialized padding for NSH encap actions.

OVS uses memcmp to compare actions of existing and new flows, but
'struct ofp_ed_prop_nsh_md_type' and corresponding ofpact structure has
3 bytes of padding that never initialized and passed around within OF
data structures and messages.

  Uninitialized bytes in MemcmpInterceptorCommon

  Uninitialized value was created by an allocation of 'ofpacts_stub'
  in the stack frame of function 'handle_flow_mod'
    #0 0x569e80 in handle_flow_mod ofproto/ofproto.c:6170

This could cause issues with flow modifications or other operations.

To reproduce, some NSH tests could be run under valgrind or clang
MemorySantizer. Ex. "nsh - md1 encap over a veth link" test.

Fix that by clearing padding bytes while encoding and decoding.
OVS will still accept OF messages with non-zero padding from
controllers.

New tests added to tests/ofp-actions.at.

Fixes: 1fc11c5948cf ("Generic encap and decap support for NSH")
