flow: Clarify flow entry life cycle, introduce uniform logging

Browse source 
Our allocation scheme for flow entries means there are some
non-obvious constraints on when what things can be done with an entry.
Add a big doc comment explaining the life cycle.

In addition, make a FLOW_START() macro to mark one of the important
transitions.  This encourages correct usage, by making it natural to
only access the flow type specific structure after calling it.  It
also logs that a new flow has been created, which is useful for
debugging.

We also add logging when a flow's lifecycle ends.  This doesn't need a
new helper, because it can only happen either from flow_alloc_cancel()
or from the flow deferred handler.

/**
* DOC: Theory of Operation - flow entry life cycle
*
* An individual flow table entry moves through these logical states, usually in
* this order.
*
* FREE - Part of the general pool of free flow table entries
* Operations:
* - flow_alloc() finds an entry and moves it to ALLOC state
*
* ALLOC - A tentatively allocated entry
* Operations:
* - flow_alloc_cancel() returns the entry to FREE state
* - FLOW_START() set the entry's type and moves to START state
* Caveats:
* - It's not safe to write fields in the flow entry
* - It's not safe to allocate further entries with flow_alloc()
* - It's not safe to return to the main epoll loop (use FLOW_START()
* to move to START state before doing so)
* - It's not safe to use flow_*() logging functions
*
* START - An entry being prepared by flow type specific code
* Operations:
* - Flow type specific fields may be accessed
* - flow_*() logging functions
* - flow_alloc_cancel() returns the entry to FREE state
* Caveats:
* - Returning to the main epoll loop or allocating another entry
* with flow_alloc() implicitly moves the entry to ACTIVE state.
*
* ACTIVE - An active flow entry managed by flow type specific code
* Operations:
* - Flow type specific fields may be accessed
* - flow_*() logging functions
* - Flow may be expired by returning 'true' from flow type specific
* deferred or timer handler. This will return it to FREE state.
* Caveats:
* - It's not safe to call flow_alloc_cancel()
