ovs-ofctl: Remove 'ANY' as a wildcard.
Currently we use "*" or ANY to mark a field in flow syntax
as a wildcard. With ANY being a valid openflow port now,
there is a conflict for in_port field. So at the least, we
need to remove ANY from being considered as a wildcard for
in_port. But this may cause general confusion and it may be
a better idea to remove 'ANY' as a wildcard for all fields.
