[ovs-dev] [PATCH 11/15] ovsdb-idl: Sort and unique-ify datum in ovsdb_idl_txn_write().

[Ben Pfaff]

I noticed that there were lots of calls to ovsdb_datum_sort_unique() from
"set" functions in generated IDL code.  This moves that call into common
code, reducing redundancy.

There are more calls to the same function that are a little harder to
remove.
