Instead of processing a port update notification directly in the RPC call, the actual processing is moved into the main rpc loop, whereas the RPC call just adds the updated port identifier to a set of updated ports. In this way, a port_update notification won't compete with the main rpc loop, causing long delays into its completion under heavy load. Also, repeated port_update notifications received within a single iteration of the main agent loop will be coalesced and processed only once. This will also avoid the risk of processing notifications out of order thus ending up with an actual configuration which differs from the desired one. This patch still performs L2 wiring for updated ports even if it is necessary only when the administrative state of a port changes. The update_ports method has been renamed to scan_ports as the latter name appears to be more in line with what the method actually does.
