ovsdb: Enable memory trimming after compaction by default.
Memory trimming was introduced in OVS 2.15 and didn't cause any issues in production environments since then, while allowing ovsdb-sever to consume a lot less memory in high scale OVN deployments. Enabling by default to make it easier to use. Acked-by: Dumitru Ceara <dceara@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ilya Maximets <i.maximets@ovn.org>
