Use ovs-ctl --delete-transient-ports-on-boot to start ovsdb-server.

This feature can be disabled by appending --no-delete-transient-ports-on-boot
to OPTIONS in /etc/sysconfig/openvswitch

I'm not sure about this change.  One thing that's nice is the way
systemd will cleanup the runtime directories when this is done.  I think
this can leave it around.

I realize that under rhel (and fedora), the /run mountpoint is tmpfs.

Is there another way we could accomodate this?  Does a db flag make
sense?

I don't think we can use db since we need that flags to be reset on each
reboot (that's the reason I use /run).

In the previous patchset this run directory was created by using
tmpfiles.d, but unlucky tmpfiles.d cannot use environment files, so you
can't use ${OVS_USER_ID}.

If cleanup is needed, but imho it should be done by ovs-ctl or
ovs-vswitchd/ovsdb-server directly, we may do the cleanup on ExecStopPost.

I *think* systemd has a way of tracking how many starts the service has
had since boot time.  If not, that might actually be a good feature to
add to systemd, and then pull in this service file (because then we
don't need a flag in the DB, just query the environment variable for the
counter and if it is the very first start, delete - otherwise don't).

I'm not sure.  I asked in the #systemd chat on freenode, and the answer
was something like it exists, but might not be exposed via environment
variable.

I realize that would make the approach take longer to implement, but it
also does feel like it puts the concerns in the correct layers (ie: the
thing that can track restarts does so and informs the thing that cares
about them).

What do you think?

That's kind of a shame, but I understand.
