Fixed an issue where the pending message job would block on the final messages in the queue and stop processing newer messages. Once the job finishes the loop on all the messages in the pending message collection, the previous implementation waits until all the message tasks finish. This causes a delay of several hours until the node finishes these tasks and is able to process newer pending messages again. Messages end up being processed, but far later than expected. The issue arises because we never remove messages from the pending queue if we fail to retrieve the associated content. The job then always has messages in the queue, causing the issue. Fixed the issue by allowing the loop to restart without waiting for messages to be processed. We now compute an individual ID for each pending message and add it to a set. The job will simply ignore any message that is already being processed, allowing for newer messages to be taken into account.

Added a new job that synchronizes unconfirmed messages across the network. The goal of this job is to re-send messages missed by nodes with the ability to push data on-chain. This can happen because of various issues like server downtimes or bugs. This job works in three parts: * the publisher task periodically sends the list of all the messages older than the last TX block that have yet to be confirmed by on-chain data. * the receiver task stores the list of unconfirmed messages for each peer detected on the network. * the sync/aggregator task aggregates the confirmation data from all the nodes and fetches messages using the HTTP API. These messages are added to the pending message queue. This solution is less expensive that constantly sharing all the messages across all the nodes and guarantees that the network will be synchronized eventually as long as the on-chain data synchronization jobs are working. With the current implementation, a message can remain out of sync at a maximum until a new TX is published on-chain + the job period (5 minutes currently).
