Avoid assertion failure for state file clock skew

The clock_skew_warning() refactoring allowed calls from
or_state_load() to control_event_bootstrap_problem() to occur prior
bootstrap phase 0, causing an assertion failure.  Initialize the
bootstrap status prior to calling clock_skew_warning() from
or_state_load().
