[VOL-3981] Voltha Core restarts if it can't subscribe to Kafka

This commit fixes the following issues:
1) It creates a loop to try to resubscribe to kafka on error.  This
is an issue that occurs randomly, especially when the kafka broker
is up and running but not truly ready to create a new topic.

2) Fixes an issue where the event proxy start was incorrect setting
the cluster messaging bus probe to out of service and never sets it
to running.   This was causing the Core to wait forever for the
probe to be ready.

+# Exponential Backoff [![GoDoc][godoc image]][godoc] [![Build Status][travis image]][travis] [![Coverage Status][coveralls image]][coveralls]
+
+This is a Go port of the exponential backoff algorithm from [Google's HTTP Client Library for Java][google-http-java-client].
+
+[Exponential backoff][exponential backoff wiki]
+is an algorithm that uses feedback to multiplicatively decrease the rate of some process,
+in order to gradually find an acceptable rate.
+The retries exponentially increase and stop increasing when a certain threshold is met.
+
+## Usage
+
+Import path is `github.com/cenkalti/backoff/v3`. Please note the version part at the end.
+
+godoc.org does not support modules yet,
+so you can use https://godoc.org/gopkg.in/cenkalti/backoff.v3 to view the documentation.
+
+## Contributing
+
+* I would like to keep this library as small as possible.
+* Please don't send a PR without opening an issue and discussing it first.
+* If proposed change is not a common use case, I will probably not accept it.

+ExponentialBackOff is a backoff implementation that increases the backoff
+period for each retry attempt using a randomization function that grows exponentially.
+
+NextBackOff() is calculated using the following formula:
+
+ randomized interval =
+     RetryInterval * (random value in range [1 - RandomizationFactor, 1 + RandomizationFactor])
+
+In other words NextBackOff() will range between the randomization factor
+percentage below and above the retry interval.
+
+For example, given the following parameters:
+
+ RetryInterval = 2
+ RandomizationFactor = 0.5
+ Multiplier = 2
+
+the actual backoff period used in the next retry attempt will range between 1 and 3 seconds,
+multiplied by the exponential, that is, between 2 and 6 seconds.
+
+Note: MaxInterval caps the RetryInterval and not the randomized interval.
+
+If the time elapsed since an ExponentialBackOff instance is created goes past the
+MaxElapsedTime, then the method NextBackOff() starts returning backoff.Stop.
+
+The elapsed time can be reset by calling Reset().
+
+Example: Given the following default arguments, for 10 tries the sequence will be,
+and assuming we go over the MaxElapsedTime on the 10th try:
+
+ Request #  RetryInterval (seconds)  Randomized Interval (seconds)
