The default format is the same as before (which the testsuite verifies). The most important use for the new formatting options is --bare, which outputs a format that is easy to parse from a shell script. An upcoming patch will start using that.
--format=list corresponds to the output format that "ovs-vsctl list" has always used. --bare is easier for scripts to parse.
This makes the table formatting functions available to other programs. ovs-vsctl will start using it soon on the "list" and "find" commands.
