HomeKit accessory reachability status is wrong on watchOS 2.0

Product:watchOS Product Version:2
Classification:Serious Bug Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
The reachability status of accessories is not updated and monitored by HomeKit on watchOS 2.0. Which results in `HMAccessory.reachable`  is always true and the delegate method `accessoryDidUpdateReachability()` is never called when the reachability changed.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup a HomeKit environment (create a home, and pair with accessory)
2. Create a watchOS 2.0 app to access the accessory
3. Check the `reachable` property of `HMAccessory`, which is always true even when the accessory is not reachable.
4. Assign an object to the `delegate` property of `HMAccessory`. When the accessory changes reachability (becomes reachable or not reachable) the delegate method `accessoryDidUpdateReachability()` is never called.

Expected Results:
The accessory reachability status on watchOS 2 should be the same as on iOS 9.

Actual Results:
The reachable property is always true and accessoryDidUpdateReachability() is never called.

Version:
watchOS 2

Configuration:
Apple Watch
