ovsdb: don't create sized arrays for OVS Sets

OVS Sets must be unique, but modelgen created sized arrays
to represent OVS Sets, which when marshalled are filled with
duplicate default values.

For a column schema like:

   "cvlans": {
     "type": {"key": {"type": "integer",
                      "minInteger": 0,
                      "maxInteger": 4095},
              "min": 0, "max": 4096}},

modelgen would create:

   CVLANs [4096]int

which when marshalled and sent to ovsdb-server becomes:

cvlans:{GoSet:[0 0 0 0 0 0 0 <repeat many times>]}

and is rejected by ovsdb-server with:

{Count:0 Error:ovsdb error Details:set contains duplicate UUID:{GoUUID:} Rows:[]}] and errors [ovsdb error: set contains duplicate]: 1 ovsdb operations failed

Instead, generate these fields as slices instead of sized
arrays.
