'openvswitch' and 'openvswitch-dpdk' packages are not available
starting with RHEL 8. The only option to get an official OVS
build is to use FDP repository, which is not available with the
default RHEL subscription.
Also, the spec file is outdated. We need python3, not python2.
Some headers are removed by the build script, but needed for
the devel package. 'openflow' headers are there, but not packaged.
And libunwind-devel is not available on RHEL8. Just removed from
the spec, since it's an optional dependency.
Fixes: 1ca0323e7c29 ("Require Python 3 and remove support for Python 2.")
