Add an option for always synchronizing status

This patch adds an option for always synchronizing operational status
on a show operation; regardless of the synchronization thread, when
this option is enabled, the resource status is always fetched from
the backend.

The patch also fixes an issue observed when running test_nvp_sync
alone.
