In case where "use_names" is set (e.g. in an interactive session) to show the port and table names when ovs-ofctl is run with snoop command, ovs-ofctl would get stuck in an endless loop inside "table_iterator_next" function's while loop checking for "while (ti->send_xid != recv_xid)". This would happening because the "vconn" to "<bridge>.snoop" socket would not respond to TABLE_FEATURES_REQUEST sent by ovs-ofctl.
This commit disables showing port or table names in the snoop command.
