ovsdb-monitor: add json cache
Although multiple jsonrpc monitors can share the same ovsdb monitor,
each change still needs to translated into json object from scratch.
This can be wasteful if multiple jsonrpc monitors are interested in the
same changes.
Json cache improves this by keeping an copy of json object generated
for transaction X to current transaction. When jsonrpc is interested
in a change, the cache is searched first, if an json object is found,
a copy of it is handed back, skipping the regeneration process.
Any commit to the monitor will empty the cache. This can be further
optimized to not throw away the cache if the updated tables and columns
are not being monitored.
