miscellaneous indexer improvements: 2) Resync only when required.

Under certain circumstances indexers may resync from scratch, even if there is no need, as we can expect the node to resync from scratch anyway.

Potential routes:

  1. find a possibility to identify that the node is in a state where we expect a full resync of consensus on start-up

    • this may include virtual daa score / checks for genesis hash / checking config if node is archival.

  2. [preferred] resync the indexes at some point when the node itself knows it will only preform a catch-up idb and not a full resync.

Arguments for (keeping the current implementation):

  1. always keeping indexes in sync, even while node is not processing.

Against:

  1. slightly longer sync times
  2. potentially extra Db read and write costs while syncing.
