switch_ready handler

The switch-ready is a message indicating a successful connection
established between a switch and your controller. If one wishes to
detect the connection-establishment event one must implement the
:switch_ready method in the controller class.

Note that the switch-ready message is not part of the OpenFlow spec,
but is a Trema-specific message. Internally, Trema::Controller
executes the following steps to emulate the switch-ready message.

Upon connection establishment with the switch a Hello message is sent that completes a version negotiation sequence.
A Feature-Request message is sent awaiting for a Features-Reply message from the switch.
Switch's state and flow tables are cleared/initialized to ensure further correct operation.
Trema::Controller redirects a :switch_ready message to itself with the switch's datapath-ID as its argument.

As Trema performs the above steps in the background, users are
unaware of such details. Users only need to handle the switch-ready
message.

Scenarios

@slow_process switch_ready handler

Given

a file named "switch-ready-detector.rb" with:

class SwitchReadyDetector < Controller
  def switch_ready datapath_id
    info "Switch #{ datapath_id.to_hex } is UP"
  end
end

And

a file named "sample.conf" with:

vswitch { datapath_id "0xabc" }

When

I run trema run ./switch-ready-detector.rb -c sample.conf interactively

Then

the output should contain "Switch 0xabc is UP" within the timeout period
