test_oxm: Add UTs for 64-bit experimenter OXMs
Following Open vSwitch, introduce "dp_hash" OXM for testing.
>From their commit log: (commit 508a933809f8a8ede4fb93f1c1e3212799efc16a)
> Testing experimenter OXM is tricky because I do not know of any in
> widespread use. Two ONF proposals use experimenter OXMs: EXT-256 and
> EXT-233. EXT-256 is not suitable to implement for testing because its use
> of experimenter OXM is wrong and will be changed. EXT-233 is not suitable
> to implement for testing because it requires adding a new field to struct
> flow and I am not yet convinced that that field and the feature that it
> supports is worth having in Open vSwitch. Thus, this commit assigns an
> experimenter OXM code point to an existing OVS field that is currently
> restricted from use by controllers, "dp_hash", and uses that for testing.
> Because controllers cannot use it, this leaves future versions of OVS free
> to drop the support for the experimenter OXM for this field without causing
> backward compatibility problems.
