[ovs-dev] [PATCH] vtep: additions to BFD configuration and status reporting

[Ariel]

From: Ariel Tubaltsev <atubaltsev at vmware.com>

This commit adds default values for some BFD configuration keys
(bfd_config_local:bfd_dst_mac and bfd_params:enable). It also adds new
BFD status keys (bfd_enabled and bfd_info).
