vswitch: Add support for large OFMP messages

OpenFlow uses a 16-bit field to describe the message length, which
limits messages to a maximum 65535 bytes.  Some of the messages passed
by the management protocol may be larger than this, so a general
Extended Data message has been added to management protocol.  It
encapsulates a single giant OpenFlow-like message, and breaks it into
however many vaild smaller ones are required.
