Included fixes are:

- update the client entry status flags when using the "early client
   detection". This makes the Distributed AP isolation correctly work;
 - transfer the client entry status flags when recovering the translation
   table from another node. This makes the Distributed AP isolation correctly
   work;
 - prevent the "early client detection mechanism" to add clients belonging to
   other backbone nodes in the same LAN. This breaks connectivity when using this
   mechanism together with the Bridge Loop Avoidance
 - process broadcast packets with the Bridge Loop Avoidance before any other
   component. BLA can possibly drop the packets based on the source address. This
   makes the "early client detection mechanism" correctly work when used with
   BLA.
