Alternate implementation of auto-reconfiguration disabling

This change moves to an alternate implementation of the behavior that
disabled auto-reconfiguration when an application used cloud services
directory.  The reason for this re-work is that original
implementation did not work; it accessed the ApplicationContext before
it was ready.
