Send a gossip_timestamp_filter on connect to enable gossip sync

On connection, if our peer supports gossip queries, and we never
send a `gossip_timestamp_filter`, our peer is supposed to never
send us gossip outside of explicit queries. Thus, we'll end up
always having stale gossip information after the first few
connections we make to peers.

The solution is to send a dummy `gossip_timestamp_filter`
immediately after connecting to peers.
