Support for kernel 4.14 has been removed in main repo, so drop the
dependencies here as well (and those for even older 4.9).
Also drop a patch that is required only for 4.14 and lower.

This is to make explicit the conditional select of libunwind is only
needed for libopenvswitch. If we spill it over other packages, the
generated kconfig will have recursive dependency issue. 2 new patches
were made for this goal
The other thing is that "+libunwind" will cause it to be built if any of the
packages defined in this Makefile is enabled (y or m). This is at the moment
by-design of the build system.
Libunwind does not support architectures like arc. Use conditional select To
avoid (libunwind) build failures like the following,
checking for ELF helper width... configure: error: Unknown ELF target: arc
make[3]: *** [Makefile:65: /data/openwrt/build_dir/target-arc_arc700_uClibc/
libunwind-1.3.1/.configured_68b329da9893e34099c7d8ad5cb9c940] Error 1
Things like "+PACKAGE_openvswitch-libopenvswitch:libunwind" will also result in
recursive deps error for chains of 3 nodes. Kconfig construct like the
following will be made
config A
tristate
select B
depends on !(C) || (x)
config B
tristate
select C
config C
tristate
config x
bool
Other changes include
- Shared use of variable ovs__common_depends was removed
- Ovn doc build was patched out

This removes Python-related build variants, and adds
PYTHON3_PKG_BUILD:=0 and minor build adjustments (where appropriate),
for non-Python packages. There should be no changes to build output.
This also updates some include paths for python3-package.mk and/or
python3-host.mk to be relative to the package Makefile.

python2 library is now removed as the transition has been done by the
upstream project
OVN is now a separate project released with its own release plan and
it's not included within openvswitch starting with ovs 2.13.
openvswitch.mk is split out from the main Makefile for adding ovn
packages back in following commits.
The following two patches are already included in 2.13
- ovsdb-idlc-fix-dict-change-during-iteration.patch
- compat-Include-confirm_neigh-parameter-if-needed.patch

Condition testing for Linux version 4.14 is spelled LINUX_4_14, not
LINUX_4.14, so the checks were ineffective up to this change.
This Fixes the following error which appeared after update to 2.12.0,
when built against kernel 4.14:
Package kmod-openvswitch-intree is missing dependencies for the
following libraries:

This is a workaround to prevent the whole build from failing because of
the intree kmods are not supported yet by upstream project.
Root cause is that kernel version should not play a part when making
DEPENDS as the generated kconfig was for all targets that may have
different kernel versions.
One less than ideal effect of this change is that for an unsupported
kernel version, people can still select the intree kmod but it won't be
built. This may contradict expectation if the warning was not noticed
by them

New scheme mainly provides three packages: openvswitch,
openvswitch-ovn-north, openvswitch-ovn-controller. These should fit
most usage scenarios. Other subpackages like openvswitch-libXXX
etc. are there for dependency management and are hidden from the
menu.
Many python and shell scripts are removed in this revision. Most of
them cannot run out of box at all for lack of dependencies. Others
being legacy ones are not that useful now. Add them back at later time
when real need appears
Below are a simple listing of additions
- initscript now incorporate also ovn north and controller support
- ovn-ctl and ovs-ctl can be invoked directly from within $PATH
