When a first non-local port is added to the integration bridge, it results
in the recalculation of datapath-id by ovs-vswitchd forcing all
active connections to the controllers to reconnect.

This patch avoids these reconnections between ovs-vswitchd and ovn-controller
by setting the hwaddr for the integration bridge when ovn-controller creates the
integration bridge. ovs-vswitchd uses the bridge:hwaddr if set to generate the
datapath-id.
