[ixpmanager] Duplicate ports after drop-in replacement of a switch

[Nick Hilliard]

Hi Marinos,

this can happen if the snmp ifindex changes between one switch and 
another.  Ifindex is required to be persistent between reboots, but this 
is not necessarily the case if there's a chassis swapout.

There are several approaches but probably the easiest would be to move 
the active ports over to the live SNMP ports and then delete the DB-only 
ports.
