Allow backends to set a callback in the be_ctx that should be

This can be used to perform regular maintenance tasks that are
valid only when going online.
Specifically, we can use this to perform a deferred kinit on behalf
of the user when we go online. We can also use this to trigger a
dynamic DNS update for the IPA provider.

I have several comments here:
- I would suggest to move this loop into a separate subroutine like
be_run_online_cb()
- Maybe it would make sense to call the callbacks with a timer event to
make sure that they do not block the current request or other
callbacks
- Currently the callbacks are run on every reconnect which might be
intended, but is IMO different from running after the transition from
offline to online. E.g. with GSSAPI we need to reconnect if the ticket
becomes invalid although we haven't been offline. To catch only the
offline-online transition I would suggest to add a run_online_cb flag
which is set by be_mark_offline() and checked and unset by the
proposed be_run_online_cb(). If the callbacks should be run after
every successful connection it would be better to replace
'*online_cb*' by something like '*connect_cb*'.
- Is it intended that only the id provider is running the callbacks?

Sumit
