'lrp_networks' never destroyed but constantly overwritten in a loop that
handles DHCPv6 replies.  In some cases this point leaks several MB per
minute making ovn-northd to constantly growing its memory consumption:

 399,820,764 bytes in 1,885,947 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 182

In fact, there is no need to allocate this memory at all, since all the
required information is already available in 'op->lrp_networks'.

Version 2:
  - Changed to not allocate that memory by resusing already parsed
    version from 'op->lrp_networks'.
  - Additional fix for leak on duplicated router port splitted to a
    separate patch.
