    Make ovs-appctl easier to use and synchronize its interface with ovs-vsctl. · 3fbe1d30

    It is inconvenient to type the whole path to the Unix daemon socket when
    using ovs-appctl.  Allow the name of the daemon to be used instead when
    a pidfile exists in the default location, and contact ovs-vswitchd by
    default.
    
    Also, the various options for manipulating vlog were invented before the
    general-purpose command mechanism existed.  Get rid of all of the action
    options in favor of just specifying the command to be executed as
    non-option arguments.
    
    Finally, there simply wasn't much value in allowing multiple targets or
    options to be specified; these variations were never used in practice.  So
    simplify the interface by making it one target, one action per invocation.
    
    Also, make ovs-vsctl use the same syntax for its --target option.
    
    Based on work by Justin Pettit.
