When using vhost-user client or server mode with openstack,
neutron needs to be able to construct the fully qualified socket path
and pass it to nova.
While the relative vhost-user socket directory is exposed via
the `Open_vSwitch` table (other_config:vhost-sock-dir),
the openvswith run directory is not.
As the full socket path is the combination of the openvswitch run
directory + relative vhost-user socket dir + interface name without
exposing the run directory the full path cannot be calculated.
Since `external_ids` column is meant for storing
key-value pairs for use by external frameworks that integrate
with Open vSwitch it is a perfect place for exposing OVS
run directory.
So this patch adds to the `Open_vSwitch` table `external_ids` column
this key:
1. ovs-run-dir - OVS run directory
