The Python IDL notification mechanism was sending a notification
for each processed update in a transaction as it was processed.
This causes issues with multi-row changes that contain references
to each other.

For example, if a Logical_Router_Port is created along with a
Gateway_Chassis, and the LRP.gateway_chassis set to that GC, then
when the notify() passes the CREATE event for the LRP, the GC will
not yet have been processed, so __getattr__ when _uuid_to_row fails
to find the GC, will return the default value for LRP.gateway_chassis
which is [].

This patch has the process_update methods return the notifications
that would be produced when a row changes, so they can be queued
and sent after all rows have been processed.

I'm not too familiar with the python IDL code but the change looks good to me.

I also verified and the new tests exercises the scenario described above. All other IDL tests also passed.
