[Impact]

This SRU is a backport of
https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/neutron/+/892895 to the
respective Ubuntu and UCA releases. The patch is merged to all
respective upstream branches (master & stable/[u,v,w,x,y,z,2023.1(a)]).

This SRU intends to add the missing 'uplink-status-propagation'
extension to ML2/OVN. This extension is already present and working in
ML2/OVS, and it is supported by ML2/OVN but the extension is somehow not
added to ML2/OVN. The patch simply adds the missing extension to the
ML2/OVN too.

The impact of this is visible for the deployments migrating from ML2/OVS
to ML2/OVN. The following command fails to work on ML2/OVN:

```
openstack port create --network 8d30fb08-2c6a-42fd-98c4-223d345c8c4f --binding-profile trusted=true --enable-uplink-status-propagation --vnic-type direct aaa

# BadRequestException: 400: Client Error for url:
https://mycloud.example.com:9696/v2.0/ports, Unrecognized attribute(s)
'propagate_uplink_status'

```

The fix corrects this behavior by adding the missing extension.

[Test Case]

- Deploy a Focal/Yoga cloud:
    - ./generate-bundle.sh -s focal -r yoga --name test-focal-yoga-stack --run --ovn
    # After the dust settles
    - ./configure
    - source ./novarc
- openstack port create --network <network-id> --binding-profile trusted=true --enable-uplink-status-propagation --vnic-type direct aaa
- It should fail with "BadRequestException: 400: Client Error for url: https://mycloud.example.com:9696/v2.0/ports, Unrecognized attribute(s) 'propagate_uplink_status'"

To confirm the fix, repeat the scenario and observe that the error
disappears and port creation succeeds.

[Regression Potential]
The patch is quite trivial and should not affect any deployment negatively. The extension is optional and disabled by default.
