Title: Discovery: concurrent node failures can cause unneeded cluster state pubishing

When a node fails (or closes), the master processes the network disconnect event and removes the node from the cluster state. If multiple nodes fail (or shut down) in rapid succession, we process the events and remove the nodes one by one. During this process, the intermediate cluster states may cause the node fault detection to signal the failure of nodes that are not yet removed from the cluster state. While this is fine, it currently causes unneeded reroutes and cluster state publishing, which can be cumbersome in big clusters.

Closes #8804
