Created a new column in the southbound database to hardcode a human readable
description for flows. This first use is describing why the flow is dropping
packets.
The new column is called flow_desc and will create southbound database entries
like this
_uuid : 20f1897b-477e-47ae-a32c-c546d83ec097
actions :
"sample(probability=65535,collector_set=123,obs_domain=1,obs_point=$cookie); /*
drop */"
controller_meter : []
external_ids : {source="northd.c:8721", stage-name=ls_in_l2_unknown}
flow_desc : "No L2 destination"
logical_datapath : []
logical_dp_group : ee3c3db5-98a2-4f34-8a84-409deae140a7
match : "outport == \"none\""
pipeline : ingress
priority : 50
table_id : 27
tags : {}
hash : 0
future work includes entering more flow_desc for more flows and adding
flow_desc to the actions as a comment.

v1: initial version
v2: correct commit message
make the flow_desc a char*
correct a typo in the ovn-sb.xml
correct the test
v3: rebase issue with NEWS file
v4: remove options:debug_drop_domain_id="1" from testing as we
do not depend on it
v5: introduce string wrapper
increment ovs-sb.ovsschema version
correct the testing
added descriptions to more dropped packets
v6: v5 was not the correct branch, this is...
added descriptions to more dropped packets
changed the names of the macros to be more descriptive
v7: rebased, corrected a few typos, updated the ovs-sb.ovsschema
checksum, and added Ales ACK
v8: rebased to main, took dceara's patch to use const char*, minor
formatting issues fixed
