    NIFI-10001: Fixed bugs that caused some components to not have their scheduled state updated. (#6049)
    
    * NIFI-10001: Fixed issue in which some components may fail to update the scheduled state when comparing flows
    
    * NIFI-10001: Fixed bugs that caused some components to not have their scheduled state updated. When comparing two flows, now allow specifying how to determine a VersionedComponent's ID for comparison. When comparing local flow against flow from registry, use Versioned Component ID. But when comparing two instantiated flows, such as local flow vs. cluster flow, use the VersionedComponent's Instance ID instead. This ensures that we can properly compare two components even if there are  [...]
