Fix for->IIC-364: After host reboot, host connection to ACC is lost

It can take time for network-manager's state for each interface, to become
activated, when IP address is set, which can cause the IP address to not stick.
Removing the host and acc comm channel interfaces out of network-manager's mgmt.
