Separate OpenFlow port numbers from datapath ones.
In a future commit, we will make multiple bridges share a single backing
datapath. Our simple mapping from datapath to OpenFlow port numbers
won't work, since we'll want the same OpenFlow port numbers on different
bridges. For example, the OFPP_LOCAL port must be the same on all
bridges, but will have to be a different datapath port on the converged
datapath.
This commit makes it the responsibility of ofproto to assign the
OpenFlow port numbers instead of doing a simple translation from the
datapath ones.
