With this commit, we allow the user to set other_config:dpdk-init=true
after the process is started. This makes it easier to start Open
vSwitch with DPDK using standard init scripts without restarting the
service.
This is still far from ideal, because initializing DPDK might still
abort the process (e.g. if there not enough memory), so the user must
check the status of the process after setting dpdk-init to true.
Nonetheless, I think this is an improvement, because it doesn't require
restarting the whole unit.
