    Add the option to minimize ovs l2 polling

    This change adds the ability to monitor the local ovsdb for
    interface changes so that the l2 agent can avoid unnecessary
    polling. Minimal changes are made to the agent so the risk
    of breakage should be low. Future efforts to make the agent
    entirely event-based may be able to use OvsdbMonitor as a
    starting point.

    By default polling minimization is not done, and can only be
    enabled by setting 'minimize_polling = True' in the ovs
    section of the l2 agent's config file.
