Simplify semantics of ChainStateFlushed callback

Previously, ChainStateFlushed would fire either if a full flush
completed (which can happen due to memory limits, forced flush, or
on its own DATABASE_WRITE_INTERVAL timer) *or* on a
ChainStateFlushed-specific DATABASE_WRITE_INTERVAL timer. This is
both less clear for clients (as there are no guarantees about a
flush having actually happened prior to the call), and reults in
extra flushes not clearly intended by the code. We drop the second
case, providing a strong guarantee without removing the periodit
timer-based flushing.
