  binding: Fix the crashes seen when port binding type changes.

When a port binding type changes from type 'A' to type 'B', then
there are many code paths in the existing binding.c which results
in crashes due to use-after-free or NULL references.

Below crashes are seen when a container lport is changed to a normal
lport and then deleted.

The present code creates a 'struct local_binding' instance for a
container lport and adds this object to the parent local binding
children list.  And if the container lport is changed to a normal
vif, then there is no way to access the local binding object created
earlier.  This patch fixes these type of issues by refactoring the
'local binding' code of binding.c.  This patch now creates only one
instance of 'struct local_binding' for every OVS interface with
external_ids:iface-id set.  A new structure 'struct binding_lport' is
added which is created for a VIF, container and virtual port bindings
and is stored in 'binding_lports' shash.  'struct local_binding' now
maintains a list of binding_lports which it maps to.

When a container lport is changed to a normal lport, we now can
easily access the 'binding_lport' object of the container lport
fron the 'binding_lports' shash.

A new debug unixctl command is added - debug/dump-local-bindings,
which dumps the local bindings stored by the ovn-controller.  This
command is also used in the test cases to validate that ovn-controller
maintains proper local bindings.
