[Bug 2103444] [NEW] [tests] on slow systems inactivty probe log on connection between ovn-controller and SB may cause false negative results

[Frode Nordahl]

Public bug reported:

As exemplified by test failures on riscv64 runners in the Debian CI
infrastructure [0][1][2], the connection between ovn-controller and SB
DB may trigger false negative test results.

A solution may be to configure a inactivity probe in the ovn_start()
macro.
