created a new column in the database to hardcode drop reasons for
default drop actions. the new column is called flow_desc and will create
southbound database entries like this

_uuid               : 20f1897b-477e-47ae-a32c-c546d83ec097
actions             : 
"sample(probability=65535,collector_set=123,obs_domain=1,obs_point=$cookie); /* 
drop-reason (NO L2 DEST) */"
controller_meter    : []
external_ids        : {source="northd.c:8721", stage-name=ls_in_l2_unknown}
flow_desc           : "NO L2 DEST"
logical_datapath    : []
logical_dp_group    : ee3c3db5-98a2-4f34-8a84-409deae140a7
match               : "outport == \"none\""
pipeline            : ingress
priority            : 50
table_id            : 27
tags                : {}
hash                : 0

where the action includes the flow_desc as the drop reason
