Announce a batch's Side quests once, when it completes

A scheduled or manual batch now holds every grounding round's Side
quests and stores them all, with one new_suggestions, in a single
transaction once its last round is done. The notification counts and
names every Side quest the batch stored, instead of only the first
round's (MQ-172-1), and a batch that fails at any round, including a
later round's normalize_recipe, stores nothing and sends nothing, so no
Side quest is left in the deck unannounced (MQ-172-2).

suggest.store stays the only new_suggestions emitter; a notifying batch
now calls it once. A replenish batch, which never notifies, still
stores round by round so the deck fills as the household swipes.
