Previously fdb/show required exactly one bridge argument. This change
lets it accept several bridge names in a single call, and show all
bridges when no argument is given. This reduces the number of unixctl
round-trips for clients that poll FDB entries across many bridges
(e.g. EVPN agents managing multiple VNIs), while still allowing a
client to query only the subset of bridges it cares about.
When more than one bridge is shown, the entries are grouped under a
"Bridge" column, sized to the widest bridge name shown, that prints
each bridge name only on its first row; a bridge with no entries is
listed as a name-only row so it stays visible. JSON output is now an
object keyed by bridge name whose values are arrays of that bridge's
entries, e.g. {"br0": [...], "br1": [...]}; this replaces the bare
entries array previously returned for a single bridge. The "port"
column in the text output is renamed to "Port" so that all column
names are capitalized; apart from that, single-bridge text output is
unchanged.

v5:
- Renamed 'name_width' to 'br_width' to avoid confusion with the port
names used inside the function.
- The "no such bridge" error now includes the offending bridge name.
- Dropped the intermediate 'len' variable; strlen() is now passed
directly to MAX().
- Widened the "Bridge" column by one so that all column names in the
header are separated by at least two spaces.
- Renamed the "port" column to "Port" so that all column names are
capitalized; adjusted existing tests (including tests/stp.at) and
NEWS accordingly.
(All of the above suggested by Ilya Maximets.)
v4:
- Rebased on current master; the NEWS entry now lives under the existing
"ovs-appctl" section. No functional changes.
v3:
- No arguments now shows all bridges, matching commands like fdb/flush
(suggested by Ilya Maximets); one or more bridge names still restricts
output to just those bridges.
- Replaced the v2 "bridge <name>" header line with a "Bridge" column,
added only when more than one bridge is shown, so single-bridge output
is byte-for-byte identical to before. This reverts the test churn
introduced in v2 (including tests/stp.at).
- The "Bridge" column is sized to the widest bridge name shown and
groups each bridge's entries, printing the name only on the bridge's
first row. A bridge with no entries is listed as a name-only row, so
that (as in JSON) an existing-but-empty bridge stays visible in a
multi-bridge listing. Added tests covering long names, a bridge with
multiple entries, and an empty bridge.
- JSON output is now an object keyed by bridge name ({"br0": [...]})
rather than an array of {"bridge", "entries"} objects.
- Trimmed the NEWS entry to a single item.
- Updated the ovs-vswitchd(8) man page to match the above.
v2:
- Moved the "bridge <name>" prefixing into the per-bridge text and JSON
helpers (suggested by Mike Pattrick).
- Updated the unixctl usage hint and the ovs-vswitchd(8) man page.
- Added tests for an empty-FDB JSON response and for the error path when
a requested bridge does not exist.
