Daniel Alvarez e4fb06b242 [ovn] Add neutron network to metadata namespace names
Until this patch the metadata namespace had the format
'ovnmeta-<OVN datapath uuid>' which makes it hard to
relate to the Neutron network for which metadata is
provisioned to. This applies to the name of the tap
interface that connects the network namespace to the
integration bridge.

This patch is changing the name convention and providing
an upgrade path to include the Neutron network ID to make
debugging and troubleshooting easier for developers and
operators.

The new name pattern is:
'ovnmeta-<Neutron network uuid>'

Please, note that with this patch, the old namespaces will
be deleted and new ones will be recreated.

The ``OVN Metadata Agent`` now creates the network namespaces including the
Neutron network UUID in its name. Previously, the OVN datapath UUID was used
and it was not obvious for operators and during debugging to figure out which
namespace corresponded to what Neutron network.
