Add optional OVN DB backup as Step 3 (ovsdb-client backup) before OADP
PVC backup. OVN PVCs are not labeled for backup by default — users must
label them manually before running the backup. The backup files are
written to the PVCs and captured by OADP automatically.

Add optional OVN DB restore as Step 8 after Galera restore. Replace DB
on replica-0, delete stale raft files on replicas 1+, force delete all
OVN pods, and restart OVN control plane pods.

Add Step 12 (Verify and Sync Neutron to OVN). Always run log mode first
to check for Neutron/OVN drift, then repair mode if inconsistencies are
found or OVN DB backup was skipped. Commands updated to match the KCS
article (Red Hat solution 7123194).
