ovn: Wait for northd in functional tests

Each functional test method create new empty NB and SB DBs. Each DB
has its own table NB_Global or SB_Global respectively that contains
exactly one record created by ovn-northd. When functional test spawns
northd, it populates the DBs however it doesn't guarantee the running
test in parallel will not attempt to access the record.

This patch makes sure that northd creates the records before it moves on
and considers northd spawned.
