Send final alert message to older peers after connecting.

The old Bitcoin alert system has long since been retired.
( See also: https://bitcoin.org/en/alert/2016-11-01-alert-retirement )

This change causes each node to send any old peers that
 it connects with a copy of the final alert.

The alert it hardcode cancels all other alerts including
 other final alerts.
