The mirror app will leave minimega cluster with a switching loop if not cleaned up properly #3

If for some reason an experiment using the mirror app gets stopped in an inconsistent manner (ie. using minimega instead of phenix), the OVF Open Flow rule added to the cluster host the VM receiving all the mirrored data was running on will not get removed.

This has been observed creating a switching loop the next time an experiment using the mirror app is deployed.

I suggest we add a special stage to the mirror app that will clean up the cluster when run. Something like phenix-app-mirror fixup-cluster <bridge name>. This fixup stage simply needs to ensure none of the cluster hosts have an OVS Open Flow rule that includes both an in_port= and an action:output= option.
