openvswitch: uprev from 2.13 to 2.15

- OVSDB:
     * Changed format in which ovsdb transactions are stored in database files.
       Now each transaction contains diff of data instead of the whole new
       value of a column.
       New ovsdb-server process will be able to read old database format, but
       old processes will *fail* to read database created by the new one.
       For cluster and active-backup service models follow upgrade instructions
       in 'Upgrading from version 2.14 and earlier to 2.15 and later' section
       of ovsdb(7).
     * New unixctl command 'ovsdb-server/get-db-storage-status' to show the
       status of the storage that's backing a database.
     * New unixctl command 'ovsdb-server/memory-trim-on-compaction on|off'.
       If turned on, ovsdb-server will try to reclaim all the unused memory
       after every DB compaction back to OS.  Disabled by default.
     * Maximum backlog on RAFT connections limited to 500 messages or 4GB.
       Once threshold reached, connection is dropped (and re-established).
       Use the 'cluster/set-backlog-threshold' command to change limits.
- DPDK:
     * Removed support for vhost-user dequeue zero-copy.
     * Add support for DPDK 20.11.
- Userspace datapath:
     * Add the 'pmd' option to "ovs-appctl dpctl/dump-flows", which
       restricts a flow dump to a single PMD thread if set.
     * New 'options:dpdk-vf-mac' field for DPDK interface of VF ports,
       that allows configuring the MAC address of a VF representor.
     * Add generic IP protocol support to conntrack. With this change, all
       none UDP, TCP, and ICMP traffic will be treated as general L3
       traffic, i.e. using 3 tupples.
     * Add parameters 'pmd-auto-lb-load-threshold' and
       'pmd-auto-lb-improvement-threshold' to configure PMD auto load balance
        behaviour.
- The environment variable OVS_UNBOUND_CONF, if set, is now used
     as the DNS resolver's (unbound) configuration file.
- Linux datapath:
     * Support for kernel versions up to 5.8.x.
- Terminology:
     * The terms "master" and "slave" have been replaced by "primary" and
       "secondary", respectively, for OpenFlow connection roles.
     * The term "slave" has been replaced by "member", for bonds, LACP, and
       OpenFlow bundle actions.
- Support for GitHub Actions based continuous integration builds has been
     added.
- Bareudp Tunnel
     * Bareudp device support is present in linux kernel from version 5.7
     * Kernel bareudp device is not backported to ovs tree.
     * Userspace datapath support is not added
- ovs-dpctl and 'ovs-appctl dpctl/':
     * New commands '{add,mod,del}-flows' where added, which allow adding,
       deleting, or modifying flows based on information read from a file.
- IPsec:
     * Add option '--no-cleanup' to allow ovs-monitor-ipsec to stop without
       tearing down IPsec tunnels.
     * Add option '--no-restart-ike-daemon' to allow ovs-monitor-ipsec to start
       without restarting ipsec daemon.
- Building the Linux kernel module from the OVS source tree is deprecated
     * Support for the Linux kernel is capped at version 5.8
     * Only bug fixes for the Linux OOT kernel module will be accepted.
     * The Linux kernel module will be fully removed from the OVS source tree
       in OVS branch 2.18
