debian: Don't recreate bridges during manual restart.

Open vSwitch bridges and ports can be configured through
the /etc/network/interfaces script. During system startup,
Open vSwitch startup script reads the interfaces file
and creates the bridges and ports. During system shutdown,
the bridges and ports are removed.

The same behavior also can occur with a manual 'restart' of
Open vswitch (ex: service openvswitch-switch restart).
This behavior has come across as undesirable in some cases.
ex: When some one manually creates interfaces through ovs-vsctl
and then restarts Open vSwitch, that interface is lost.

This commit changes the startup script such that, interfaces
are created and deleted through the startup script only when
RUNLEVEL environment variable is set. This behavior will be
consistent with the OVS RHEL ifcfg-* scripts too.
