This is an effective revert of:
I312a950131d62d93fb4bc121bc5e60febb8d35ee
"ovn: use stateless NAT rules for FIPs".
The performance benefits promised by the "reverted" patch never
materialized. On the contrary, the discussion in [1] revealed that the
switch to stateless=true made it impossible to fully hw offload nat
rules, while it's possible with stateless=false. Specifically, see this
comment [2].
Since at this point it's unclear if keeping stateless=true as an option
is beneficial for any case, even when w/o hw offload, and to avoid
complexity of introducing a config option for unclear benefit, this
patch reverts the effects of the original patch, switching all
dnat_and_snat objects to implicit stateless=false state.
This patch cannot be a clean revert because of the need for db
migration.
