When sending final block sync bundle, indicate if the last batch of blocks is 'final'

Currently the block sender does not indicate if the final batch of blocks sent is all the block the far end has. Adding a flag to the protocol and having the client check for that to inform further sync behaviour would be useful. Currently the node waits for a new block hash gossip to try to sync again, which may take several minutes.

Additionally, if the last block is not a final block, the node does not need to "eagerly gossip" it.
