    ofproto: Start work to enable datapaths with built-in wildcard support.
    
    The "xflow" interface assumes that the datapath supports only exact-match
    flows.  This seems to be one reasonable way to implement a datapath in
    software, but some hardware datapaths have built-in support for flows that
    include wildcards.  Until now, OVS has not been able to take advantage of
    this feature.  This commit is a beginning of that support.  It works, to
    some extent, but it is incomplete in many ways, and should be considered
    a prototype.

    Rename "odp" to "xflow".
    
    In an upcoming commit we will have two layers of datapaths: a high-level
    datapath that supports wildcards and a low-level datapath that only
    supports exact-match flows.  This is confusing enough without the two
    layers having similar names.  This commit attempts to fix the naming
    problem in advance, by renaming the exact-match only layer from "odp"
    to "xflow" (which stands for "exact-match flow").

    tests: Break single classifier test into multiple.
    
    This should make it easier to tell what is failing, if anything does.

    Drop padding from struct odp_flow_key.
    
    Breaking this out as a separate commit should make it easier to see what
    needs to change later, if we need to reintroduce padding at some point.

    Combine dl_vlan and dl_vlan_pcp.
    
    This allows eliminating padding from odp_flow_key, although actually doing
    that is postponed until the next commit.

    flow: Separate "flow_t" from "struct odp_flow_key".
    
    The "struct odp_flow_key" used in the kernel datapath is conceptually
    separate from the "flow_t" used in userspace, but until now we have
    used the latter as a typedef for the former for convenience.  This commit
    separates them.  This makes it possible in upcoming commits to change
    them independently.

    ofproto: Factor out check on rule->send_flow_removed in send_flow_removed().
    
    There's no point in even iterating over the list of OpenFlow connections if
    rule->send_flow_removed is false, since we'll never actually do anything
    in that case anyway.

    ofproto: Drop "now" argument from send_flow_removed().
    
    There's no reason that send_flow_removed() itself can't get the current
    time, and that means one less parameter for the caller.
