#2735 NTF: Make Cold sync to include cached alarm notifications

[Minh Hon Chau]

This ticket removes the limitation documented in NTF Programming Guide:

Section 2.2.3:
Reader API reads only from a cache with a configurable size the latest alarm and security alarm notifications. The cache is not cold synced

There is an use case that needs to make cached alarms cold synced during upgrade.
At the time the standby controller installes new Opensaf software, it then is ordered to reboot. Once it comes up but the active NTFD (old Opensaf software) is not syncing the cached alarms to the standby NTFD. Therefore, if si-swap follows to switch the standby controller (new software) to become active, ntfread will not be able to fetch the cached alarms.
