bridge: Use hash table instead of sparse array for bridge ports.

The main advantage of a sparse array over a hash table is that it can be
iterated in numerical order.  But the OVS implementation of sparse arrays
is quite expensive in terms of memory: on a 32-bit system, a sparse array
with exactly 1 nonnull element has 512 bytes of overhead.  In this case,
the sparse array's property of iteration in numerical order is not
important, so this commit converts it to a hash table to save memory.
