ofagent: port monitoring w/o ovsdb accesses

Registered by YAMAMOTO Takashi

ofagent currently scans ovsdb (via ovs-vsctl command) to get a list of ports.
implement that functionality using openflow port stats instead.

as there is no pure openflow equivalent for port external-ids,
we plan to use port name to identify devices. (as linuxbridge does)
