OVN developers have had isssues with the current method by which OVS

* There is no way to record the minimum commit/version of OVS to use
   when compiling OVN.
* When debugging issues, bisecting OVN commits may also requires
   simultaneously changing OVS commits. This makes for multiple moving
   targets to try to track.
* Performance improvements made to OVS libraries and OVSDB may benefit
   OVN. However, there's no way to encourage the use of the improved OVS
   source.

By using a submodule, it allows for OVN to record a specific commit of
OVS that is expected to be used.
