ovs-ctl.in: Restore flows with vswitchd packet processing disabled.
		
It has been observed that when we upgrade openvswitch with
thousands of openflow flows already established and there is heavy
traffic going through the switch, restoring flows can take a very
long time (8 minutes in one use case) with CPU running at 100%.
This can make the upgrade very expensive.

This commit starts vswitchd by asking it to wait till flow restore is
finished. Once the flows are restored, it resumes normal operations.

Bug #16086.

ovs-ctl.in: Add manager after restoring flows.
		
Currently we are adding the manager after starting ovs-vswitchd.
Instead, add the manager after flow restore is completed.

ovs-vswitchd: An option to wait for userspace flow restore to complete.
		
While upgrading openvswitch, it helps to restore openflow flows before
starting packet processing.  Typically we want to restart openvswitch,
add the openflow flows and then start packet processing.

To do this, we look for the other_config:flow-restore-wait column
in the Open_vSwitch table during startup. If set as true, we disable
receiving packets from the datapath, expiring or flushing flows and
running any periodic ofproto activities. This option does not prevent
the addition and deletion of ports. Once this option is set to false,
we return to normal processing.

An upcoming commit will use this feature in Open vSwitch startup scripts.
