This change adds the ability to monitor the local ovsdb for interface changes so that the l2 agent can avoid unnecessary polling. Minimal changes are made to the agent so the risk of breakage should be low. Future efforts to make the agent entirely event-based may be able to use OvsdbMonitor as a starting point. By default polling minimization is not done, and can only be enabled by setting 'minimize_polling = True' in the ovs section of the l2 agent's config file.
