blockservice & exchange & bitswap: add non variadic NotifyNewBlock

Variadicts in go are just syntactic sugar around passing a slice, that
means all go memory reachability rules apply, this force the compiler to
heap allocate the variadic slice for virtual call, because the
implementation is allowed to leak the slice (and go's interprocedural
optimisations do not cover virtuals).

Passing a block without variadic will pass the itab either on the stack
or decomposed through registers. Skipping having to allocate a slice.
