This is a straight search-and-replace, except that I also removed #include
<assert.h> from each file where there were no assert calls left.

The OVSDB protocol has supported multiple databases for a long time, but
the ovsdb-server implementation only supported one database at a time.
This commit adds support for multiple databases.

This provides clients a way to coordinate their access to the database.
This is a voluntary, not mandatory, locking protocols, that is, clients
are not prevented from modifying the database unless they cooperate with
the locking protocol. It is also not related to any of the ACID properties
of database transactions. It is strictly a way for clients to coordinate
among themselves.
The following commit will introduce one user.
An upcoming commit will need to expose the concept of a database session
to the execution engine, to allow the execution engine to query the locks
held by the session. This commit prepares for that by making sessions a
publicly visible data structure.
Every so often I get concerned because OVS does most of its time arithmetic
in "long long int" but poll_timer_wait() takes an "int", so there is
potential for truncating a large value to a small value or a positive value
to a negative value. That would cause excessive wakeups and possibly 100%
CPU usage.
This commit therefore changes poll_timer_wait()'s parameter type from "int"
to "long long int". The file-scope 'timeout' variable remains type "int"
because that is the type of poll()'s timeout argument.
Factoring poll_timer_wait() into two functions is not necessary here but it
comes in handy in the following patch.
