Prior to this patch, only db change aware connections were dropped
on a read/write status change. However, current schema in OVN does
not allow clients to monitor whether a particular DB changes this
status. In order to accomplish this, we'd need to change the schema
and adapting ovsdb-server and existing clients.

Before tackling that, this patch is changing ovsdb-server to drop
*all* the existing connections upon a read/write status change. This
will force clients to reconnect and honor the change.
