selftests/net/openvswitch: add SET action test

Add test_action_set exercising OVS_ACTION_ATTR_SET with an ipv4 dst
rewrite. The test verifies the SET action in three steps: first
confirm normal forwarding, then apply set(ipv4(dst=10.0.0.99)) to
rewrite the destination to an address nobody owns and verify ping
fails, then restore normal forwarding and verify connectivity
recovers.

selftests/net/openvswitch: add flow modify test

Add mod_flow() and the mod-flow CLI command to ovs-dpctl.py, exercising
OVS_FLOW_CMD_SET. Add test_flow_set which first modifies an existing
flow with new actions and verifies the change via traffic, then modifies
the same flow without actions and verifies the kernel handles the
no-actions case gracefully.

The no-actions path is unreachable from userspace OVS tools (dpctl
mod-flow requires actions) but reachable via raw netlink. This is the
code path where Adrian Moreno found a possible kfree_skb of ERR_PTR
when reply allocation fails after locking.

Make parse() skip OVS_FLOW_ATTR_ACTIONS when actstr is None so the
kernel enters the post-lock allocation branch in ovs_flow_cmd_set().
After the no-actions set, verify via dump-flows that the flow retained
its drop action.

selftests/net/openvswitch: guard command substitutions against empty output

When ip-link output is unavailable, when the upcall daemon log has not
been written yet, or when pahole does not know the OVS drop subsystem
ID, the affected command substitutions silently produce empty strings.
The caller then passes empty sha= or pid= arguments to ovs_add_flow,
or matches against wrong drop reason codes, all without a diagnostic.

Add [ -z ] guards immediately after each assignment. For test_arp_ping,
also align the MAC extraction to use awk '/link\/ether/' as in
test_pop_vlan. The drop_reason guard returns ksft_skip because an
absent subsystem ID is an environment issue, not a test failure.

selftests: openvswitch: add dec_ttl action support and test

Add dec_ttl action support to the OVS kernel datapath selftest
framework:

- Add dec_ttl nested NLA class to ovs-dpctl.py with proper
OVS_DEC_TTL_ATTR_ACTION sub-attribute handling
- Add parse support for dec_ttl(le_1(<inner_actions>)) action
string, consistent with the odp-util.c format where le_1()
holds the actions taken when TTL reaches 1
- Add dpstr output formatting for dec_ttl actions
- Add test_dec_ttl() to openvswitch.sh that verifies:
* Normal TTL packets are forwarded after decrement
* TTL=1 packets are dropped (TTL expiry)
* Graceful skip via ksft_skip if kernel lacks dec_ttl support

The dec_ttl class uses late-binding type resolution to reference
ovsactions for its inner action list, avoiding circular references
at class definition time.

selftests: openvswitch: add pop_vlan test

Add test_pop_vlan() to verify OVS kernel datapath pop_vlan action
correctly strips 802.1Q VLAN tags from frames.

Test structure:
- Baseline: untagged forwarding validates basic connectivity.
- Negative: forward without pop_vlan, tagged frame is invisible
to ns2 (no VLAN sub-interface), ping fails.
- Positive: pop_vlan strips tag on forward path, push_vlan
restores tag on return path, ping succeeds.

Use static ARP entries to avoid VLAN-tagged ARP complexity.
Rely on ping success/failure for verification -- no tcpdump or
pcap files needed.

selftests: openvswitch: add vlan() and encap() flow string parsing

Add VLAN TCI formatting and parsing support to ovs-dpctl.py:

- Add _vlan_dpstr() to decompose TCI into vid/pcp/cfi fields,
with raw tci=0x%04x fallback when cfi=0 for round-trip safety.
- Add _parse_vlan_from_flowstr() boundary check for missing ')'.
- Add encap_ovskey subclass restricting nla_map to L2-L4 attributes
(slots 0-21) that appear inside 802.1Q ENCAP, with metadata
attributes set to "none".
- Check encap parse() return value for unrecognized trailing content.
- Support callable format functions in dpstr() output.
- Change OVS_KEY_ATTR_VLAN type from uint16 to be16 to match the
kernel __be16 wire format; uint16 decodes in host byte order,
which gives wrong values on little-endian architectures.
- Change OVS_KEY_ATTR_ENCAP type from none to encap_ovskey to
enable recursive parsing of 802.1Q encapsulated flow keys.
- Add push_vlan action class with fields matching kernel struct
ovs_action_push_vlan (vlan_tpid, vlan_tci as network-order u16).
- Add push_vlan dpstr format and parse with range validation
(vid 0-4095, pcp 0-7, tpid 0-0xFFFF) and CFI forced to 1.
