OVS 2.3 didn't support bundles.  ovs-ofctl never supported a "bundle"
command.

Well, I suppose you could, and perhaps we should to be thorough, but
packet-out only supports sending packet-outs, so it's going to have
limited value in practice.

For more usefulness in practice, I guess we could add a more general
command that accepts a variety of commands.  One could think of this as
an extension of "ovs-ofctl add-flows", which already allows a variety of
OFPT_FLOW_MODs in its input, although it might make more sense to give
it a new name.
