Until now, the OVSDB IDL annotations have been glommed together with the
schema information in a single file, and then we've used ovsdb-idlc to
extract the schema from that file. This commit reverses the process:
the schema and the annotations are stored separately and then glommed
together as necessary at build time.
This new arrangement has a few advantages:
- We can now easily have multiple different sets of IDL annotations
for a single OVSDB schema. For example, some users may not need
access to columns that other users do.
- Bugs in ovsdb-idlc cannot screw up the underlying schema (as shown
by a recent commit).
