    The unixctl library had used the vde2 management protocol since the
    early days of Open vSwitch.  As Open vSwitch has matured, several
    Python daemons have been added to the code base which would benefit
    from a unixctl implementations.  Instead of implementing the old
    unixctl protocol in Python, this patch changes unixctl to use JSON
    RPC for which we already have an implementation in both Python and
    C.  Future patches will need to implement a unixctl library in
    Python on top of JSON RPC.
