There are four sessions established from ovn-controller to the following:
OVN Southbound — JSONRPC based
Local ovsdb — JSONRPC based
Local vswitchd — openflow based from ofctrl
Local vswitchd — openflow based from pinctrl

All of these sessions have their own probe_interval, and currently one
[SB] of them can be configured using ovn-vsctl command, but that is not
effective on the fly —in other words, ovn-controller has to be restarted to
use that probe_timer value, this patch takes care of that.
For the local ovsdb connection, probe timer is already disabled. For the last
two connections, they do not need probe_timer as they are over unix domain
socket. This patch takes care of that as well.

This change has been tested putting logs in several places like in
ovn-controller.c, lib/rconn.c to make sure the right probe_timer
values are in effect. Also, by making sure from ovn-controller's
log file that there is no more reconnect happening due to probe
under heavy load.
