Otherwise ovs-vswitchd can't immediately start working (until some other
call to ovs-vsctl initializes the database). This is most obvious if one
runs "ovs-vsctl list Open_vSwitch ." as the first command, because the
output will not show the changes that ovs-vswitchd will make to the
database at startup (in particular initializing datapath_types and
iface_types), which is confusing.

This patch adds initial support for OVN to ovs-sandbox. If you pass
"-o/--ovn" to ovs-sandbox, it will create a db from the ovn and ovn-nb
schemas and tell ovsdb-server to use them. It also adds ovn/ to $PATH
so that as ovn executables are added, they will be available in the
sandbox.

When debugging multiple programs under GDB, it will be easier to
identify xterms with the program name displayed as title. Without
this patch, xterms will have the title of "gdb", which is the first
program the xterm executes. This change is useful for the next patch.

It is some times useful to leverage the sandbox facility to experiment
and explore the internals of ovs-vswitchd. Since GDB requires console
access for user inputs, this patch launch an xterm for GDB, The main
terminal continue to run the sub-shell as before. Exiting the sub-shell
will also kill the ovs-vswitchd under GDB (but not GDB itself currently)

This utility isn't going to be as portable as most of the Open vSwitch
utilities, unfortunately. I'm happy to take improvements to make it
able to work with, e.g., the "man" program from BSD. (I haven't tested
with that program, but I suspect that it is somewhat different from the
GNU version.)
The output of this program can already be viewed at:

Converts the majority of docs over to use the Markdown language for
pretty printing on GitHub. It's a rough first convertion without
exploiting the full potential of Markdown at this point. Section
titles and indentation are fixed as needed. Minimal docs interlinking
is added.
