Cleanup default file locations and XenServer packaging
This commit cleans up the locations of a number of files and directories
used. These include:
- Config file lives in /etc/openvswitch/conf.db
- Logs go into /var/log/openvswitch
- ovsdb-server socket is /var/run/openvswitch/db.sock
- Schema goes into /usr/share/openvswitch/vswitch.ovsschema
- PID files go in /var/run/openvswitch
For XenServer, these additional changes are made:
- Cores go in /var/xen/openvswitch
- OVS binaries run in /var/xen/openvswitch
In addition, it attempts to cleanup the XenServer packaging. This
includes referring to the project as "openvswitch" as opposed to the
somewhat presumptuous "vswitch".
Note: Changes to the Debian packaging will be forthcoming.
