ovsdb-server: Announce bound listening ports as status:bound_port.
		
The administrator can request that OVSDB bind any available TCP port, but
in that case there is no easy way to find out what port it has bound.  This
commit adds that information as the "bound_port" key in the "status"
column.

tests: Avoid race conditions, by letting the kernel choose ports to bind.
		
An occasionally occurring problem with "make check", especially when
parallel tests are enabled, is that multiple tests try to bind the same
TCP port and, of course, fail.  This happens because the code to select
a TCP port to bind just generates random numbers until it finds a port that
is not currently in use and uses the first one, which is of course prone
to races.

This commit changes the tests to let the kernel directly choose an
available port, which should avoid this type of failure.

Also, some of the tests that generated a random free TCP port actually
used the port number to bind a UDP socket, which of course doesn't work
well.  This commit fixes that problem too as a side effect.

commit df451457ad9a02bcd9793126b66be445f4d5a8a7
Diffs: http://openvswitch.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=openvswitch;a=commitdiff;h=df451457ad9a02bcd9793126b66be445f4d5a8a7

socket-util: Log kernel-chosen bound ports in inet_open_passive().
		
Usually, for passive sockets, one wishes to bind a particular well-known
port, so that clients can easily connect.  But automated tests cannot
necessarily bind a well-known port, because that would cause multiple
concurrent tests to interfere with each other or with a real instance of
the service running on the system.  They could bind to a randomly selected
port chosen by the user (the Open vSwitch automated tests currently do this)
but this leads to occasional "false negative" test failures when the port
selected happens to be in use.

The best alternative for automated tests is to let the kernel choose a
port that is not otherwise in use, which can be accomplished by specifying
port 0.  But in that case there is no easy way for other software to know
what port the kernel chose.  This commit fixes that problem one way by
logging the bound port when it is chosen by the kernel.

tests: Make test-netflow, test-sflow accept all logging options.
		
An upcoming patch will start using the --log-file option with these test
programs, so they need to support it.
