Notes:
- drop un-needed patches
- bump kernel support up to 4.9
- switch from git repo to release tarball
- use OVS intree kernel module ; seems that using the kernel module
from the package has certain issues due to the glue/backport code
that tries to adapt to many kernel versions and has a potential
to mess up ; not to mention, the glue code makes the kmod
a few times larger than it should be
- tested on x86_64 VM

When only kmod-openvswitch is enabled, which commonly happens during LEDE
release builds, there is no need to build the entire userland of openvswitch
as this is done at a later stage on systems dedicated to build only userspace
packages.
This change conditionalizes the dependency on python, which means that python
prerequisites are only compiled if the openvswitch-python package is enabled,
which allows us to eliminate the entire python dependency chain.
Furthermore, this change sets MAKE_PATH to the kernel module sub directory
if only kmod-openvswitch is enabled which causes the openvswitch build system
to only process sources related to the .ko files.

I guess these were left since some initial OVS package versions.
They were fine up until recently.
Some of the build artifacts got a little messy and thus the
OpenWRT OVS package got a little messy.
This cleans it up a bit.

Most patches for 4.1 are no longer needed, only a minor patch to fix a
missing WAIT_ANY constant. 2.5.0 depends on nf_conntrack (ipv4 and ipv6)

Declare LINUX_KARCH to package's build-system to resolv this.

After a few discussions with the guys working on OpenVSwitch
they've recommended we use the EXTRA_CFLAGS env var for setting
flags for the kernel module.
They've updated the trunk with a patch to accomodate that.
That patch is also in this commit, and replaces a patch that I proposed.

When OVS detects a kernel version >= 3.12 it does not build
it's own vxlan module and tries to use the kernel's, when building
the OVS kernel module.
I also pushed a patch to the OpenWRT trunk to add a +kmod-vxlan package.
This will add the kernel's vxlan.ko kernel module if it exists.
So, for kernel >= 3.12, this package should exist and be installed
when installing OVS.
Tested on OpenWRT trunk with kernel 3.14.18.

Seems that while fixing the build for GCC 4.9
I broke the build for GCC 4.8, because that KCFLAG I added
causes a build error (since it's not recognized).
The fix is to add KCFLAG only when GCC 4.9 is used.
OpenVSwitch now builds successfully with GCC 4.8 and 4.9.

Requires python package.
Required by other openvswitch subpackages (like openvswitch-python).

This is default if ovs is started through ovs-ctl but we start it directly, hence
tell procd to use nice -10 for ovs.

According to the NEWS message from the main OVS site:
http://openvswitch.org/releases/NEWS-2.3.0
Excerpt:
- ovs-controller has been renamed test-controller. It is no longer
packaged or installed by default, because too many users assumed
incorrectly that ovs-controller was a necessary or desirable part
of an Open vSwitch deployment.
Current feed was updated based on a feed that packaged OVS 1.9,
and subsequently updated.
For now, we'll remove it, since it's not required.
When I tested the feed, I tested it on a setup that has been configured
some time ago, and does not have that package enabled.
So, I'll remove it to prevent confusion.
