Abstract:  User has to restart appserver when TMTP agent is restarted and no context info available when disabling diagnostic trace

Description/symptom of problem:  Problem from the customer's point of view: there are two problems.
First, when TMTP agent is restarted, WebSphere's request metrics is not able to reconnect to TMTP - it will always report error code -1 from ArmJni calls. Second, when the diagnostic trace is disabled, request metrics does not pass the context information to TMTP.

Root cause from the developer's point of view: For first problem, request metrics needs to automatically re-initialize with TMTP if it gets an error code -1 from ArmJni calls. For the second problem, fix a bug in PmiRmArmXfcTivoliImpl that accidently put the call to pass context info to TMTP in a if(tc.isDebugEnabled())
statement.

Explanation of any behavior changes: the two problems mentioned above should be fixed. When TMTP is restarted, users do not have to do anything. Request metrics will automatically re-connect to TMTP and make ArmJni calls.
