network: prevent infinite hang if ovs-vswitchd isn't running
This fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=852984 If a network or interface is configured to use Open vSwitch, but ovs-vswitchd (the Open vSwitch database service) isn't running, the ovs-vsctl add-port/del-port commands will hang indefinitely rather than returning an error. There is a --nowait option, but that appears to have no effect on add-port and del-port commands, so instead we add a --timeout=5 to the commands - they will retry for up to 5 seconds, then fail if there is no response.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
