The 5-tuple optimization becomes unnecessary with a later per-NUMA
node stats patch. Remove it first to make the changes easier to
grasp.

With mega flow implementation ovs flow can be shared between
multiple CPUs which makes stats updates highly contended
operation. This patch uses per-CPU stats in cases where a flow
is likely to be shared (if there is a wildcard in the 5-tuple
and therefore likely to be spread by RSS). In other situations,
it uses the current strategy, saving memory and allocation time.

Over the time datapath.c and flow.c has became pretty large files.
Following patch restructures functionality of component into three
different components:
flow.c: contains flow extract.
flow_netlink.c: netlink flow api.
flow_table.c: flow table api.
This patch restructures code without changing logic.
