Takashi Kajinami da7df46bdf Allow skipping restarting ovs daemons
When ovs daemon is restarted, network traffic through ovs interfaces
are interrupted until the daemon is started and the required flows are
re-installed. This is not desirable in some live-systems carrying
heavy network traffic.

This introduces the flag to avoid restarting the service by puppet, so
that operators can restart the ovs daemon manually during the proper
maintenance window.

The new ``skip_restart`` parameter has been added. When this parmeter is
set to ``false``, the ovs daemon is not restarted when some options which
requires service restart are updated. This avoids immediate network
disruption caused by restarting the ovs daemon.
