Terry Wilson 4bde2d5237 Add OVN Northbound API for LS, LSP, and DHCP 
This patch implments the ovn-nbctl API for the Logical_Switch,
Logical_Switch_Port, and DHCP_Options commands. Additional patches
will implement logical router and load balancer functionality.

As a convenience, the add/list/get commands return a special
read-only version of an ovs.db.idl.Row object called a RowView.
This object can be compared to a Row for equality and hashing. This
saves having to return uuids and then look them up. This behavior
differs from the Open_vSwitch schema implementation. This wrapper
serves both to keep people from modifying returned values outside of
a transaction and as an interface for any future backend to implement.

In addition, an ovs virtual environment fixture based on ovs-sandbox
is added to set up a sandboxed ovs/ovn install for running functional
tests.

ovsdbapp

A library for creating OVSDB applications

The ovdsbapp library is useful for creating applications that communicate via Open_vSwitch's OVSDB protocol (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7047). It wraps the Python 'ovs' and adds an event loop and friendly transactions.

Features

  • An thread-based event loop for using ovs.db.Idl
  • Transaction support
  • Native OVSDB communication
