Usually ofproto/trace is used to debug the flow translation error.
When translation error such as recursion too deep or too many resubmit,
the issue might happen momentary; flows causing the recursion expire
when users try to debug it.  This patch enables the ofproto trace
automatically when recursion is too deep or too many resubmit, by
invoking the translation again, and log the ofproto trace as warnings.
Since the log will be huge, rate limit to one per minute.

Thank you!

I had to fold in the following because of recently added GCC warnings
that caused a diagnostic for 'rl' having the same name as a different
variable in an outer scope.  I also changed the burst size from 5 to 1
because I am super nervous about this change using a lot of space in
lots (after all, we *know* that this is going to produce at least 64
levels of output).

I applied this to master.  Thanks again!
