Different connector count in GUI depending if mininet OF10 or OF13

Different connector count can be seen in the ODL GUI when using mininet OF10 and mininet OF13. The reason could be the different internal switch connector type learned by the AD-SAL switch manager.

For the same mininet topology:

Using OF13 simulation, the internal switch connector is type SW and does not show in GUI:

GET http://localhost:8080/controller/nb/v2/switchmanager/default/node/MD_SAL/openflow:1

{
"properties": {
"name":

{ "value": "s1" }

,
"state":

{ "value": 1 }

,
"config":

{ "value": 1 }

},
"nodeconnector": {
"node":

{ "id": "openflow:1", "type": "MD_SAL" }

,
"id": "0",
"type": "SW"
}
},

Using OF10 simulation, the internal switch connector is type MD_SAL and shows in GUI:

"properties": {
"name":

{ "value": "s1" }

,
"state":

{ "value": 1 }

,
"config":

{ "value": 1 }

},
"nodeconnector": {
"node":

{ "id": "openflow:1", "type": "MD_SAL" }

,
"id": "openflow:1:65534",
"type": "MD_SAL"
}
},

IMO the OF10 is the wrong behavior as the switch itself should not appear as a connector.
