Register OVS_KEY_ATTR_SCTP in the flow key parser so that sctp() can be used in flow specifications. The ovs_key_sctp class already exists (with src/dst fields matching the TCP/UDP siblings) but was not wired into the parser, so the token was silently dropped and the kernel rejected the flow. Add test_sctp_connect_v4 exercising the SCTP flow key with port-specific matching: sctp(dst=4443) for client-to-server and sctp(src=4443) for server-to-client, mirroring the SCTP four-way handshake direction. The test verifies connectivity with flows installed, confirms failure after flow removal, then reinstalls and verifies recovery.
