    More accurate agent restart state transfer

    Ovs-agent can be very time-consuming in handling a large number
    of ports. At this point, the ovs-agent status report may have
    exceeded the set timeout value. Some flows updating operations
    will not be triggerred. This results in flows loss during agent
    restart, especially for hosts to hosts of vxlan tunnel flow.

    This fix will let the ovs-agent explicitly, in the first rpc loop,
    indicate that the status is restarted. Then l2pop will be required
    to update fdb entries.
