Subject: [PATCH] vxlan: force user to set port value

This change shifts burden onto the users to choose the UDP port value.
There is no default value, the destination port must be specified.

This is a migration compromise. The initial development of VXLAN
used UDP port 5287 but now there is an official assigned port for
VXLAN.  The kernel can't change because of legacy compatibility
but new deployments should not use the legacy port value.
