Fix gossip membership after cert expires

If a peer's cert expires while it is still in gossip memory
for another peer, membership cannot be re-established
after the cert is renewed.

The fix is to acknowledge that the expired cert's peer
is no longer in gossip identity store and accept
new connection with the new PKI-ID and identity.
