Use Open vSwitch IDL pattern to read OVS configuration on dpctl start,

Why? What functionality?
Since the hw-offload/skip-hw configurations aren't saved with kernel
dpif and dumped back on open,
we needed "hw-offload" configuration to know if to try offloading for
add-flow dpctl command, and then
which flag to pass on to TC (skip_hw/skip_sw) if offloading is enabled.
Also for dpctl dump-flows, if hw offload is enabled dump offloaded flows
from netdevs.
What if OVSDB isn't running, does ovs-dpctl block?
Yes.
