When upgrading from deployments that were running older versions of OVN (before the "type" column had been added to the Datapath_Binding schema) there's no value available for the new "type" column so its value is kept as default, an empty string.
While ovn-northd and ovn-controller correctly handle that because they fall back to the old mechanism (of checking external-ids) backup ovsdb-servers will check the schema constraints and fail because: unexpected ovsdb error: constraint violation: "" is not one of the allowed values ([logical-router, logical-switch]) Make the "type" value optional to avoid this upgrade issue. ovn-northd will set the column to a proper value (logical-router/switch) when it first runs. Fixes: 6919992d8781 ("Datapath_Binding: Separate type column and sync NB.UUID to SB.")
