Chassis rows for VTEP physical switches are created by
ovn-controller-vtep, which never processes logical flows and therefore
never advertises any feature in other_config. northd code only
skipped remote chassis, so a single VTEP chassis disabled every
feature for the whole deployment.

The most visible effect is ct_no_masked_label being turned off, which
makes northd emit "ct_label.blocked" matches. That symbol was removed
in f1f5c34f1acf ("northd: Assume all chassis support the
"ct-no-masked-label" feature."), so any newer ovn-controller fails to
parse ct_label actions during a rolling upgrade from version < 24.09.
Skip VTEP chassis the same way remote ones are skipped.

Fixes: 40fe94bd4d4c ("northd: Use ct_mark.blocked and ecmp_reply_port only when 
all chassis support it.")
