Lucas Alvares Gomes 9dc8bca740 [OVN] Fix inconsistent IGMP configuration
Prior to this patch the IGMP configuration for ML2/OVN was inconsistent
with the configuration option description and also the ML2/OVS driver
because it was flooding traffic to unregistered VMs [0].

The "igmp_snooping_enable" configuration option says:

"Setting this option to True will also enable Open vSwitch
mcast-snooping-disable-flood-unregistered flag. This option will disable
flooding of unregistered multicast packets to all ports."

But, in ML2/OVN that behavior was inconsistent prior to this patch
because it allowed traffic to flood to unregistered VMs. This patch
fixes it.

Even with the "igmp_snooping_enable" configuration option stating that
traffic would not be flooded to unregistered VMs when this option was
enabled, the ML2/OVN driver didn't follow that behavior. This
has now been fixed and ML2/OVN will no longer flood traffic to
unregistered VMs when this configuration option is set to True.
