[Bug 1912847] [NEW] ovs-vswitchd should consider lack of DPDK support fatal

[James Troup]

Public bug reported:

If ovs-vswitchd without DPDK support is run on a system which requires
it, the following error is logged:

2021-01-14T06:01:54.608Z|00007|dpdk|ERR|DPDK not supported in this copy
of Open vSwitch.

Unfortunately this is not a fatal error and ovs-vswitchd continues on.
It would be much easier from a monitoring and operator ease-of-diagnosis
perspective, if ovs-vswitchd exited after this error message.

(ovs-vswitchd was running without DPDK support due to LP #1836713)
