Server driver implements FlowRuleProgrammable

This patch extends the server device driver with the
ability to manage FlowRule objects on the network interface
cards (NICs) of commodity servers.
With a minimal modification in an existing ONOS class (i.e.,
DefaultFlowRule.java), the server device driver re-uses the
FlowRule and FlowEntry concepts to implement a sub-class
translator that converts FlowRule objects into NicFlowRule
objects.
Currently this new feature supports a handful of possible
NIC rule actions but it can be easily extended in the future.

Addressed comment made by ONOS reviewers and fixed two bugs.
One bug was related to rule installation (ability to send
an array of rules at the same time), while the other bug was
related to the hash code of a NicFlowRule.

Refactoring of this driver according to ONOS reviewers's
comments.
