tests: Convert ND, MPLS and CT sendpkt tests to compose-packet.

These tests contain plain hex dumps that are hard to read and modify. Replace with equivalent calls to ovs-ofctl compose-packet --bare and ovs-pcap. Tcpdump calls modified to write actual pcaps instead of text output, so ovs-pcap can be used while checking the results. While at it, replacing sleeps with more robust waiting for tcpdump to start listening. M4 macros are better than shell variables, because we can see the substitution result in the test log. So, using m4_define and m4_join extensively. Acked-by: Simon Horman <[email protected]> Acked-by: Eelco Chaudron <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Ilya Maximets <[email protected]>
