Johanna Amann 7d7578146f Add basic OpenFlow plugin for Pacf.
This also changes a few types in pacf and adds a few needed bits and
pieces to the OpenFlow framework.

And - it even has a testcase...

# Definition of a plugin.
#
# Generally a plugin needs to implement only what it can support. By
# returning failure, it indicates that it can't support something and the
# the framework will then try another plugin, if available; or informn the
# that the operation failed. If a function isn't implemented by a plugin,
# that's considered an implicit failure to support the operation.
#
# If plugin accepts a rule operation, it *must* generate one of the reporting
# events ``rule_{added,remove,error}`` to signal if it indeed worked out;
# this is separate from accepting the operation because often a plugin
# will only know later (i.e., asynchrously) if that was an error for
# something it thought it could handle. The same applies to notifications,
# with the corresponding ``notification_*`` events.

# Returns a descriptive name of the plugin instance, suitable for use in logging
# messages. Note that this function is not optional.

done: function(state: PluginState) &optional;

# it returns true, false otherwise. The rule will already have its
# ``id`` field set, which the plugin may use for identification
# purposes.
add_rule: function(state: PluginState, r: Rule) : bool &optional;
# Implements the remove_rule() operation. This will only be called for
# rules that the plugins has previously accepted with add_rule(). The
# ``id`` field will match that of the add_rule() call. Generally,
# a plugin that accepts an add_rule() should also accept the
# remove_rule().
