The "targets" column in IPFIX had a min=1 constraints, so OVSDB implicitly adds an empty string "" into that column if no value is given. No connection can be opened to a target with address "", so the whole IPFIX exporter for that row was disabled until that "" target was removed by users. That behavior is correct but proved to be unintuitive to users.
This patch removes the min=1 constraint, to avoid the trouble for users who insert IPFIX rows with no targets: it eliminates the log messages due to failed connections to target "", and eliminates the need to manually remove the "" target after row insertion. This doesn't impact the behavior for any existing row, whether it has a "" target or not.
