Bug Description

With the added support for learning FDB entries [1] there is a problem that FDB table can grow indefinitely, leading to performance/scale issues. New options are added to OVN [2] to tackle this problem, and neutron should make use of it

    Add support for FDB aging

    In [1] we added support for FDB learning. In order to avoid issues
    due to that table increasing without limits, which will impact OVN
    performance, this patch is adding support for its aging mechanisms
    which was added in OVN 23.09 in [2]. By default is disabled, so if
    `localnet_learn_fdb` is enabled, the new configuration parameters
    should be appropriately configured too: `fdb_age_threshold` and
    `fdb_removal_limit`
