[ovs-dev] [PATCH 2/2] docs: Note currently used L3 gateway HA approach.

The OVN gateway HA design document is very useful in its current form.
It describes a range of options OVN could take to provide gateway HA.
Leave all the useful discussion in place and add a note to indicate
how the current implementation lines up with the options described.

I plan to follow up with an additional patch to describe the current L3
gateway HA implementation in the ovn-architecture document.
