* New state-machine for non-IVS switches is unit tested
* No unit tests for IVS switches yet

* fail makeCookie if the app id hasn't been registered
* do static initialization
* fail if duplicate app id registration

still not a perfect framework but better than before

[BVS-486] getPortType will default to UPLINK ports for BigSwitchOVS.  The autoportfast detection is performed only in BSNOVS and Xenon switches.

BVS-515 (https://github.com/bigswitch/bigswitchcontroller/pull/3608)

mostly cleanup (https://github.com/bigswitch/bigswitchcontroller/pull/3633)

* alwasy log stack trace at debug level (even if we just log the message
  at error)
* don't wrap other exceptions in SwitchStateException. We don't log that
  with stack trace
* IOFSwitch.setDebugCounterService now throws the correct exception

Fixes: non IP wildcards (BVS-525), ForwardingTest  (https://github.com/bigswitch/bigswitchcontroller/pull/3572)

Enable switch read/write throttling by default (https://github.com/bigswitch/bigswitchcontroller/pull/3578)

Flattened debug counters REST output a little bit.

Register Vendor Actions on Floodlight startup (https://github.com/bigswitch/bigswitchcontroller/pull/3538)

Don't allow 0 MAC address. More comprehensive DevMgr unit tests. BVS-516  (https://github.com/bigswitch/bigswitchcontroller/pull/3511)

 - flushNow is a property of the update instead of the event
 - event timestamp is displayed in ISO8601 style
 - event registry returns an event updater object instead of the eventId
 - event update is done with a user defined object which is accessed via reflection and annotations
 - metadata is expressed using varargs and metadata string constants
 - changed unit tests
