[ovs-dev] [PATCH v2 1/2] ovs-save: Add a helper command to maintain ofport value.

[Gurucharan Shetty]

v1-v2: Changed commit message and added the --if-exists option to ovs-vsctl.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

This patch adds a helper command: save-ofports. The command
will o/p a shell script that will set the 'ofport_request' column
of the interface table with the value of the corresponding ofport.

This command takes a list of bridges as input and will be used by
a future commit to restore the ofport value across force-reload-kmod.

This command is only useful while trying to upgrade from a pre-1.10
branch to 1.10 or a later branch.

Issue #13556
