docs: Remove remaining references to OVS kmod and XenServer.
README file still mentions a kernel module and some parts of
the documentation still have XenServer references, e.g. 'xs-*'
database configuration options. Removing them.
Fixes: 422e90437854 ("make: Remove the Linux datapath.")
Fixes: 83c9518e7c67 ("xenserver: Remove xenserver.")
