Description 
If an interface of an association is marked
down using ifconfig, all the peer addresses
using that interface's address as source will
be marked unreachable forever if there is no
data traffic using them.  We should instead
periodically check if the source address becomes
available again.  And if heart beat is enabled,
the behavior should be that those peer addresses
should be marked dead since no heart beat can
be sent to those addresses (no source address
to use).
