Subject: [PATCH ovn] utilities: Remove the docker directory.
External Email
The docker directory seems to be unmaintained for a while. The last
update happened in 2020 with one exception in 2024 [0]. As stated in
the commit:
"Most of the steps were inaccurate. Instead, use latest Ubuntu, use
OVS from the submodule inside the OVN repo."
Which indicates that the tooling wasn't used for a while, remove
it completely as there are other ways how to set up ovn inside
container.
[0] Fixes: 77a24fc1f867 ("utilities/docker: Fix up container build.")
