[ovs-dev] [PATCH] docs: Consistently suggest /etc/openvswitch/conf.db as location for db.

Our Debian and XenServer packages use /etc/openvswitch/conf.db as the
location for the database but some of the docs suggested
/etc/ovs-vswitchd.conf.db.  This settles on the former consistently.
The manpage is still ovs-vswitchd.conf.db but I don't know what to do
about that.
