Code Issues Proposed changes

Tune up report and downtime intervals for l2 agent 

If the neutron server erroneously thinks than the l2 agent is down
it will fail to bind a port, which can lead to VM's spawn errors.
However, the issue is only transient because the agent effectively
is only 'late' in reporting back.

Best solution would be an alpha-count algorithm (so that we can detect
persistent failures more reliably), but for now let's be more tolerant
assuming that the agent is down by waiting at least twice the report
interval plus a tiny teeny bit.
