openvswitch: allow complex port configurations
The current way to add ports to an Open vSwitch bridge does not allow
complex port configurations. Use a dedicated uci config section per port
instead of the current port:type syntax. This way we can easily support
more features like setting the VLAN tag or the OpenFlow port number.
