Register OVS_KEY_ATTR_SCTP in the flow key parser so that sctp()
can be used in flow specifications. The ovs_key_sctp class already
exists (with src/dst fields matching the TCP/UDP siblings) but was
not wired into the parser, so the token was silently dropped and the
kernel rejected the flow.

Add test_sctp_connect_v4 exercising the SCTP flow key with
port-specific matching: sctp(dst=4443) for client-to-server and
sctp(src=4443) for server-to-client, mirroring the SCTP four-way
handshake direction. The test verifies connectivity with flows
installed, confirms failure after flow removal, then reinstalls
and verifies recovery.

One issue I think will happen with this patch is that the other two
in-flight patches will also collide.  I'm thinking it may require
rebasing.

A better strategy going forward would be to bundle the new test
additions in one series.  That's just for going forward, do not resubmit
the existing patches I've acked unless a maintainer asks for it.

Instead of this pattern, we can probably do an ovs_wait on the Listening
string.  That way we aren't relying only on the sleep, but on the actual
Ncat output.  Something like

   ovs_wait sh -c
     "[ \$(grep 'Ncat: Listening on ....' ${ovs_dir}/stderr) ]" || \
     return 1

Or you could use a count and do '-ge <number>'

That way if the ncat spawn takes time to start up, it can be ready in
time.
