Fixes #2995
When completing a sync cycle, notify all peers of new state. This path is essential in star-topology networks where a gateway node needs to notify all its out-of-date peers of the availability of a new block, which it currently does not do.
This failure scenario will most often crop up in private and hackathon networks with degenerate connectivity, but it should be healthy for the mainnet too to more reliably update peers or the local TD state.
