With this patch the synced connections are created with their real state,
which can be changed on the next synchronizations if necessary. This way 
on fail-over all the connections will be treated according to their actual
state, causing no scheduling problems (the active and the nonactive 
connections have different weights in the schedulers). 
The backwards compatibility is preserved and the existing tools will show
the true connection states even on the backup director.
