openvswitch: allow specifying ifindex of new interfaces
CRIU is preserving ifindexes of net devices after restoration. However,
current Open vSwitch API does not allow to target ifindex, so we cannot
correctly restore OVS configuration.
Add new OVS_DP_ATTR_IFINDEX for OVS_DP_CMD_NEW and use it as desired
ifindex.
Use OVS_VPORT_ATTR_IFINDEX during OVS_VPORT_CMD_NEW to specify new netdev
ifindex.
