The loop here is supposed to run at least once, and to continue looping as
long as the loop body changes the current state, but this bug caused it to
continue looping until the connection completed in success or failure. It
probably didn't cause many problems in practice because only Unix domain
socket connections are currently supported, and those connections normally
complete immediately.

These initial bindings pass a few hundred of the corresponding tests
for C implementations of various bits of the Open vSwitch library API.
The poorest part of them is actually the Python IDL interface in
ovs.db.idl, which has not received enough attention yet. It appears
to work, but it doesn't yet support writes (transactions) and it is
difficult to use. I hope to improve it as it becomes clear what
semantics Python applications actually want from an IDL.
