cbfee93b74 Modify syncing code to support multiple peers.
Previously the code was only designed to work with a single peer.  This
commit modifies the syncing code to deal with multiple peers.

83407ade61 Rework block fetching code.
This commit significantly reworks the fetching code to interop better with
bitcoind.  In particular, when an inventory message is sent, and the
remote peer requests the final block, the remote peer sends the current
end of the main chain to signal that there are more blocks to get.

Previously this code was automatically requesting more blocks when the
number of in-flight blocks was under a certain threshold.  The original
approach does help alleviate delays in the "request final, wait for
orphan, request more" round trip, but due to the aforementioned mechanism,
it leads to double requests and other subtle issues.

60779ea8df Add message blocking semantics to block processing.
This commit modifies the input message handler so that when a remote peer
sends a block, no further messages from that peer are accepted until the
block has been fully processed and therefore known good or bad.  This
helps prevent a malicious peer from queueing up a bunch of bad blocks
before disconnecting (or being disconnected) and wasting memory.

Additionally, this behavior is depended on by at least the block
acceptance test tool as the reference implementation processes blocks in
the same thread and therefore blocks further messages until the block has
been fully processed as well.

eab9c1f0c1 Insert genesis block if needed on db load.
Previously, the genesis block was only inserted when the database was
created, but it's possible due to rollback that the database is created
and the genesis block insert gets rolled back if the app is existed too
quickly.  This commit modifies the logic to test the need for the genesis
block any time the database is loaded and insert it if necessary.
