The old failover logic for the BigSwitch plugin modified a
list of controllers as it tested them. If the code for one
thread unexpectedly raised an exception or died, the global
server list could lose a server permanently.
This patch addresses that by flagging servers as failed instead
so the global server list is never modified.
