network/openvswitch: Removed (build failure)
The code in upstream's git repo might build, but it's not even in a beta status yet, so it will have to wait (but of course the SBo maintainer is free to begin testing already) Signed-off-by: Robby Workman <rworkman@slackbuilds.org>

-Open vSwitch is a production quality, multilayer virtual switch licensed
-under the open source Apache 2.0 license. It is designed to enable
-massive network automation through programmatic extension, while still
-supporting standard management interfaces (e.g. NetFlow, sFlow, RSPAN,
-ERSPAN, CLI). In addition, it is designed to support distribution
-across multiple physical servers similar to VMware.s vNetwork distributed
-vswitch or Cisco.s Nexus 1000V.
-
-Open vSwitch can operate both as a soft switch running within the
-hypervisor, and as the control stack for switching silicon. It has been
-ported to multiple virtualization platforms and switching chipsets. It
-is the default switch in the Xen Cloud Platform and also supports Xen,
-XenServer, KVM, and VirtualBox. The bulk of the code is written in
-platform-independent C and is easily ported to other environments.
-
-This package will build kernel modules that will be uses as replacements
-for the bridge modules included with the stock Linux kernel. Open
-vSwitch includes a kernel module if you wish to use the standard Linux
-bridge utils to manage it.
