[ovs-dev] [RFC] rhel/ifup: support vhost-user client mode

This adds support for ifup to configure client-mode sockets by exposing
two new variables $OVS_PORT_MODE and $OVS_PORT_PATH to the ifcfg
scripts. When OVS_PORT_MODE is set to 'client', the OVS_PORT_PATH will
be passed as the vhost-server-path option.
No change is needed to ifdown because the OVSDPDKVhostUserPort type
already has an appropriate entry.

NOTE: I haven't tested this yet. I'll submit formally once I do.
