"monitoring slice" feature request

Description
Currently, it's possible to create a read-only slice that gets copies of all messages by adding that slice to all flow entries, i.e.:
"Slice:alice=4" becomes "Slice:alice=4,Slice:monitoringslice=2" for all flow entries.
This is undesirable because it causes lots of extra maintenance when adding and removing flow entries.
Rather than this, just maintain a separate list of "monitoring slices" that get all traffic.
Original issue: https://openflow.stanford.edu/bugs/browse/FLOWVISOR-24
One idea here would be to assign a monitoring slice to a real slice. This monitoring slice would then get a copy of all messages to that 'real' slice. A global monitoring slice, could be assigned to the fvadmin slice.
