Add a new macro MODULE_ALIAS_VPORT_TYPE to unify and simplify the
declaration of vport type alias, and replace magic numbers with
symbolic constants.

This is user visible change. For example this is changing the gre
module alias from "vport-type-3" to "vport-type-OVS_VPORT_TYPE_GRE".
This could break userspace application.

Hi Shelar,
Actually this change does not change module alias name. I use '__stringify' to
address this. Below is my build result:
```
[zhangshengju@promote net-next]$ modinfo net/openvswitch/vport-gre.ko
filename: /gitlab/net-next/net/openvswitch/vport-gre.ko
alias: vport-type-3
...
```
BRs,
Zhang Shengju

Yes, I expected this. But when I tried modinfo with your patch, I did
not see it. here is modinfo output from my setup.

Oh, I'm sorry. You are right, it seems ' OVS_VPORT_TYPE_GRE' doesn't expand.
Maybe I can send another version to use magic number, such as:
MODULE_ALIAS_VPORT_TYPE(3);
Is this okay for you?
BRs,
Zhang Shengju.

Agreed, you really can't do this.
