Hmm. The way I follow it is that bridge_reconfigure() will read it from the
table, and call ofproto_set_max_idle() to set the ofproto_flow_idle
variable. Later, in revalidate_udumps(), we take a local copy of
ofproto_flow_idle, and this is used later in the function (by code that
already exists).

I've just tested it, and it works as expected - e.g., setting a value of 1
makes us delete flows from the datapath incredibly quickly, as observed via
ovs-appctl upcall/show. Is the "minInteger"/"maxInteger" meant to prevent
the user from setting values outside that range, or are they merely
suggestions for the manual?
