fallbackswitch: Fix pad health calculation and notifies

Change the pad health calculation to consider a pad 'healthy'
if it has received data within the last 'timeout' window. Previously,
inactive pads were constantly flip-flopping between healthy and not
healthy depending on whether they were slightly ahead of or behind
the active pad running_time.

When the health status of a pad changes, make sure to always notify
the property, so that applications that are manually controlling
the active pad can make their switching decisions.
