Minxi Hou 07a9e39750 selftests/net/openvswitch: add SCTP flow key support and test
The ovskey flow-string parser has no OVS_KEY_ATTR_SCTP entry, so a
flow string containing sctp(src=.../dst=...) parses without error but
silently drops the L4 key. The resulting flow carries only
ipv4(proto=132), and the kernel rejects it: match_validate() in
flow_netlink.c requires OVS_KEY_ATTR_SCTP when the IP protocol is
IPPROTO_SCTP and returns -EINVAL for the missing key.

Register OVS_KEY_ATTR_SCTP in the parse table and add a matching
selftest that verifies SCTP flow key matching (sctp src/dst port).

One listener serves the whole test. socat's fork option handles each
association in a child, so the flow rules are the only thing that
changes between the three phases and the listener is never restarted
underneath them. -t 1 bounds how long a forked child lingers after
its association closes, and the existing kill -TERM of the captured
pid on teardown removes the listener itself.

Also enable CONFIG_IP_SCTP in the selftest kernel config. The config
checker strips underscores before comparing keys, so the entry sorts
before CONFIG_IPV6 rather than after it.
