Subject: swarm: no SIGNATURES

Signatures sent on their own (SIGNATURES, every second, to each peer
not sent them yet) flooded every link: a signature made after its
change left, or one that came with changes, went to every neighbour,
whether or not it got the change along with its signature elsewhere.

With every change of a node signed as it leaves (1217) and signatures
going where their changes go (1218), none is left for them to carry:
the message, its task and its traffic counter go (wire version 46).
Signatures waiting for their changes are offered as before when sync
messages bring them, and the changes waiting for signatures judged
again with the next batch.
