In networkdb we should ignore delete events for entries which doesn't
exist in the db. This is always true because if the entry did not exist
then the entry has been removed way earlier and got purged after the
reap timer and this notification is very stale.
Also there were duplicate delete notifications being sent to the
clients. One when the actual delete event was received from gossip and
later when the entry was getting reaped. The second notification is
unnecessary and may cause issues with the clients if they are not
coded for idempotency.
