Only read relevant nodes from database in PeerChangedResponse (#2509)

* Only read relevant nodes from database in PeerChangedResponse * Rework to ensure transactional consistency in PeerChangedResponse again * An empty nodeIDs list should return an empty nodes list * Add test to ListNodesSubset * Link PR in CHANGELOG.md * combine ListNodes and ListNodesSubset into one function * query for all nodes in ListNodes if no parameter is given * also add optional filtering for relevant nodes to ListPeers
