openvswitch: vport: remove infrastructure for separate modules

Since removal of legacy tunnel vport types only the built-in ones
remain.  So, there is no need for the extra infrastructure for dynamic
module loading.  Can be reinstated in the future if we need a new
vport type.

Note: It is technically possible that someone has an out-of-tree
module named vport-type-N that implements a different vport type.
At this time we're not aware of anyone doing that.  People running
out-of-tree modules normally just have an out-of-tree openvswitch
module as a whole.  And there are actually no supported out-of-tree
implementations of the openvswitch module known to the community.
