I brought this patch up for discussion in today's OVN IRC meeting.  Ben
raised a good point:

<blp> russellb: I have questions whether port sets and address sets are
really the same kind of beast though.  For port sets, possibly we want to
manage them via references to rows as opposed to sets of strings.

I think that's a great point, so let's just defer the rename and we'll go
through deciding on a final approach for this after 2.6.
