vswitchd: Only re-learn from flows that output to OFPP_NORMAL.
		
Commit e96a4d8035 "bridge: Feed flow stats into learning table." started
feeding flow statistics back into the learning table, but it did not
distinguish between flows with and flows without an action that outputs to
OFPP_NORMAL.  Flows without such an action are not put into the learning
table initially, because bridge_normal_ofhook_cb() is not called for them,
but since that commit they have been put into the learning table when their
flows are reassessed.

This is inconsistent--flows without OFPP_NORMAL should either be learned
from all the time or never, not sometimes.  I can see valid arguments both
ways, but since it was always my intention not to learn from such flows,
this commit disables learning from them.

Problem found by code inspection.  I don't know of any observed bug that
this fixes.

tag: Be more precise about choosing tags to add, in tag_set_add().
		
It is not necessary to add a "tag" if all of the bits in it are already
present in some member of the set.  This commit adds that optimization.

tag: Use existing macro instead of constant.
		
N_TAG_BITS is always 32, currently, because tag_type is a typedef
for uint32_t, so this does not fix an actual bug.
