Motivation for this change
Allows using a significantly newer version of openvswitch from the unstable channel. Bumps the release channel to bugfix 2.5.9 of openvswitch. I intend to maintain the stable branch along with the unstable branch along with netixx. I've tested this pretty extensively backporting the working patch to 19.09 and running it for maybe a week or so at this point and it works quite well both on the LTS channel and going from the LTS channel to the latest channel if it's selected.
