B0rked on restart

If a plugin stops or restarts, Docker isn't aware of the stop or restart. It is only concerned with the plugin when a call is required from the network like port/bridge/network CRUD operations.

We populate the OVSDB cache at plugin runtime so any existing ports are cached and so a port delete is handled just fine.

Problem: What isn't in the cache are network IDs. So libnetwork sends a create endpoint with a network ID that doesn't exist because it isn't persistent through the plugin restart.

Proposed Solution: Since we have a persistent database in OVSDB, we could simply write libnetwork network ID's to a bridge row in the bridge table in a metadata/options/stamp collection field.

= Docker daemon error from a new container request if the plugin was restarted since the original network create:
