ovsdb-server: Integrate stream replay engine.

This change adds support of stream record/replay functionality to
ovsdb-server.

Since current replay engine doesn't work well with time-based
events generated locally, it will work only with standalone databases
for now (raft heavily depends on time).

To use this functionality run:

  Recording:

    # create a directory for replay files.
    mkdir replay_dir
    # copy current db for later use by replay
    cp my_db ./replay_dir/my_db
    ovsdb-server --record=./replay_dir <OVSDB_ARGS> my_db
    # connect some clients and run some ovsdb transactions
    ovs-appctl -t ovsdb-server exit

  Replay:

    # restore db from the copy
    cp ./replay_dir/my_db my_db.for_replay
    ovsdb-server --replay=./replay_dir <OVSDB_ARGS> my_db.for_replay
    At this point ovsdb-server should execute all the same commands
    and transactions.  Since the last command was 'exit' via unixctl,
    ovsdb-server will exit in the end.
