It now defers loading any data until the UI has been drawn, avoiding a blank
screen. Now the dashboard is drawn (~1s) and then filled in with data. The
remaining bottleneck is probably the number of XHRs; concatenating JS and
templates and fetching switch data in bulk instead of individually would
reduce the number of XHRs dramatically.

Also fixed OVS local port display.

Updates to VNF.

Fixed inconsistent switch representations in log messages

Updates.

Updates Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm. (1) NodeDist will return the node with the smallest weight in the priority queue; (2) The algorithm will replace an existing entry in the priority queue.

This change is mostly for streamlining and clarifying IDeviceServiceAPI.
* renamed findDestDevice to findClassDevice
* pass an entityClass to findClassDevice instead of the
  "source"/"reference" device.
