Bug description:
  As part of programming OpenvSwitch, Neutron will add to which
  protocols bridges support [0].

  However, the Open vSwitch `ovsdb-server` process does not appear to
  update its perspective of which protocol versions it should support
  until it is restarted:

  # ovs-ofctl -O OpenFlow14 dump-flows br-int
  2019-11-12T12:52:56Z|00001|vconn|WARN|unix:/var/run/openvswitch/br-int.mgmt: version negotiation failed (we support version 0x05, peer supports version 0x01)
  ovs-ofctl: br-int: failed to connect to socket (Broken pipe)

  # systemctl restart ovsdb-server 
  # ovs-ofctl -O OpenFlow14 dump-flows br-int
