[ovs-dev] [PATCH v2] OVN: Support BUM traffic in the VTEP schema

This patch implements BUM support in the VTEP schema.
This relates to BUM traffic flowing from a gateway towards
HVs. This code would be relevant to HW gateways and 
the ovs-vtep simulator.
In order to do this, the mcast macs remote table in the VTEP
schema is populated based on the OVN SB port binding.
For each logical switch, the SB port bindings are queried
to find all the physical locators to send BUM traffic to
and the VTEP DB is updated.
These code changes are contained in vtep.c.

An OVN test for the ovs-vtep based gateway was
enabled for relevant packet types to test this functionality.
This test is contained in ovn.at

The AUTHORS file was updated as well.

v1->v2: Fold in code review comments (including duplicate
        physical locator fix) and also fix a
        memory leak found during retesting/code walk
