Public bug reported:

In the systemd service we make use of the `ovn-ctl` script
`run_nb_ovsdb` and `run_sb_ovsdb` sub-commands introduced in [0]. These
sub-commands fit nicely with systemd's expectations of modern daemons to
no longer detachand run in the background.

However, the change in [0] has the side effect of disabling automatic
upgrading of clustered databases. Previously this would have been done
on every startup [1].

A recent commit to master [2] addresses this and uses the combination of
presence of `--db-*-cluster-local-addr` and non-presence of the `--db
-*-cluster-remote-addr` to determine if the upgrade should be run.

We should backport [2] to our supported OVN packages to prepare for
supporting upgrades that require database schema changes. We may also
need to change the behavior of the ovn-central charm to not set the
`--db-*-cluster-remote-addr` argument on the leader unit.
