This patch adds a new configuration option, "max-idle" to the
Open_vSwitch "other-config" column. This sets how long datapath flows
are cached in the datapath before ovs-vswitchd thread expire them.
This commit is a backport of commit 72310b04 (upcall: Configure
datapath max-idle through ovs-vsctl.).
