ovs-vsctl: Add --if-exists option to many database commands.
A few ovs-vsctl commands have accepted --if-exists options for some time, to make it possible to execute them in cases where it doesn't really matter if the records they touch exist. This commit adds this option to other commands. This is intended for initial use with "ovs-vsctl set interface <iface> ofport_request=<number>" commands in ovs-ctl for upgrades from OVS 1.9 to later versions. This makes a very small incompatible change to the ovs-vsctl "get" command: previously with --if-exists, only keys in map columns were allowed to be missing; now with --if-eixsts, also records are allowed to be missing.
