Public bug reported:

The ryu-based OVS agent variant forces the bridge Openflow version to 1.3 only 
[1], which breaks a few things:
- troubleshooting tools relying on ovs-ofctl, unless they specify "-O 
Openflow13", will break:
  version negotiation failed (we support version 0x01, peer supports version 
0x04)
  ovs-ofctl: br-tun: failed to connect to socket (Broken pipe)

- calling add_flow on an OVSCookieBridge derived from a bridge that is
an native.ovs_bridge.OVSAgentBridge, will fail with the same error,
because add_flow will call ovs-ofctl without specifying "-O Openflow13"
(this issue is currently hitting networking-bgpvpn: [2])

It seems like a possible fix would be to not restrict the set of
Openflow versions supported by the bridge to Openflow13, but to just
*add* Openflow13 to the set of supported versions.
