Terry Wilson ca57c9fe8f Update ovsdb release notes re: new OVS ports
Defaulting ovsdb/of_interface to native causes services to
listen on new ports. On systems using selinux, it is important
to make sure that permission is given to listen on these ports.

Prior to Newton, the neutron-openvswitch-agent used 'ovs-ofctl'
of_interface driver by default. In Newton, 'of_interface'
defaults to 'native'. This mostly eliminates spawning ovs-ofctl
and improves performance a little.
upgrade:
- To retain the old default for neutron-openvswitch-agent, use
'of_interface = ovs-ofctl' in the '[ovs]' section of your
openvswitch agent configuration file.
- By default, the native interface will have the Ryu controller
listen on 127.0.0.1:6633. The listen address can be configured
with of_listen_address and of_listen_port options. Ensure that
the controller has permission to listen at the configured
address.
