doc: Make explicit that ovs-vswitchd is the preferred switch.

Browse Source 
Many people who are looking for an OpenFlow switch assume that
the only way to do it is using ovs-openflowd.  Sometimes they also
run ovs-vswitchd at the same time.  Try to clarify that neither
of these are necessary and ovs-vswitchd can handle OpenFlow by
itself and is the preferred method of doing so.

Open vSwitch uses OpenFlow as its preferred method of remote flow
table configuration. This is the simplest method of using it with an
OpenFlow controller. The ovs-vsctl "set-controller" command will set
the controller for one or more bridges. We recommend using OpenFlow
in this manner.
OpenFlow controller. The ovs-vsctl "set-controller" command can also
be used in conjunction with ovs-vswitchd to set the controller for one
or more bridges. We recommend using OpenFlow in this manner and in this
case you should not run ovs-openflowd. Directions for setting up
ovs-vswitchd can be found in INSTALL.Linux.
However, it is also possible to use Open vSwitch as a simple OpenFlow
switch like that provided by the OpenFlow reference implementation
