selftests/net/openvswitch: add flow modify test

Add mod_flow() and the mod-flow CLI command to ovs-dpctl.py, exercising
OVS_FLOW_CMD_SET. Add test_flow_set which first modifies an existing
flow with new actions and verifies the change via traffic, then modifies
the same flow without actions and verifies the kernel handles the
no-actions case gracefully.

The no-actions path is unreachable from userspace OVS tools (dpctl
mod-flow requires actions) but reachable via raw netlink. This is the
code path where Adrian Moreno found a possible kfree_skb of ERR_PTR
when reply allocation fails after locking.

Make parse() skip OVS_FLOW_ATTR_ACTIONS when actstr is None so the
kernel enters the post-lock allocation branch in ovs_flow_cmd_set().
After the no-actions set, verify via dump-flows that the flow retained
its drop action.
