Having a file with the same name as its package creates hard-to-diagnose
import error, so rename mininet.py to net.py. This commit moves utility
functions, generally those dealing with network namespaces and interface
management, into their own file.
Also fix a few minor formatting bugs and clean up logging code (which
had issues when multiple files would import mininet.logging_mod).
Make much of the Mininet code object-oriented around the new Mininet
object, and create a generic way to build a Mininet.
Previously, each network topology was created by Mininet API calls,
which seems much less approachable for new users than passing in a
topology object along with controller, switch, and host classes.
The modified code is all in ripcordtest.py, but will need to replace the
main mininet.py code eventually.
Kernel-space support only, for now.
