[Feature Request]: Admin message to request a refresh of the nodedb

Description

Now that we have this in place #3740

We need to add a admin message that will refresh the node db, so that apps can separate connecting and the nodedb refresh, which takes a long time with 100 nodes.

@garthvh Is this a NodeDB::cleanupMeshDB() call you had in mind ?

I believe this issue is for adding an admin message that sets off the connection/want_config stage of sending all the nodes in NodeDB up to the phone via the API. That way the clients can connect with the nodeless wantconfig (and thus not require anyone to wait for all 80/100/possibly more to come through on initial connect), and then send the admin message after connection to get any updated node information to update their local datastores with. So basically an admin message to set off the stuff within the case STATE_SEND_OTHER_NODEINFOS block in PhoneAPI::available() I think

Oh I see....
