Patavig (v1.13.8)

This is a hotfix release for a regression which affects v1.13.6 and v1.13.7: if the node is shut down during sync, the node will refuse to start, with the error message Fatal: Failed to register the Ethereum service: waiting for sync (#28718, #28724).

Please also see the release notes for v1.13.6 and v1.13.7
