current_period isn't recalculated upon restart

[mike76-dev]

Current Behavior

After not having started renterd for a few months, I found out that the contracts are not formed because "the end height is in the past". After digging into the issue, it turned out that current_period in the autopilots table still contained the value from the past, when I last started renterd.

Expected Behavior

Current Period should be recalculated every time renterd starts.

In theory it should update but you are right it would not happen immediately upon being synced again. Instead it would probably update the current period by 1 period every 30 minutes.
