[SRU] openvswitch 2.13.5

[James Page]

[Impact]
This release sports mostly bug-fixes and we would like to make sure all of our
users have access to these improvements.

The update contains the following package updates:

   * openvswitch 2.13.5

[Test Case]
The following SRU process was followed:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OpenStack/StableReleaseUpdates

In order to avoid regression of existing consumers, the OpenStack team will
run their continuous integration test against the packages that are in
-proposed. A successful run of all available tests will be required before the
proposed packages can be let into -updates.

The OpenStack team will be in charge of attaching the output summary of the
executed tests. The OpenStack team members will not mark ‘verification-done’ until
this has happened.

[Regression Potential]
In order to mitigate the regression potential, the results of the
aforementioned tests are attached to this bug.

An upload of openvswitch to focal-proposed has been rejected from the upload queue for the following reason: "This was not based on the latest upload of openvswitch, version 2.13.3-0ubuntu0.20.04.2, in focal-security.".

[James Page (james-page)]

Apologies - I've re-based and re-uploaded for SRU team review.

This looks good, but maybe let's modify the template to require adding exact version numbers of -proposed packages used in the test!

This LP seems to have introduced an issue that was reported here - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/importlib/+bug/2018011

Is there a process to bisect or review the patches that went into the point release 2.13.5?
