Enable OVP tests to run on a DPDK-enabled system
DPDK-enabled NFVIs require support for hugepages which
in turn is configured by means of extra_specs in flavors.
Currently, Functest enables hugepage support if the name
of the scenario contains the substring "ovs".
Dovetail allows end users to run all tests on DPDK-enabled systems
and the documentation has been updates accordingly.
