Reject headers building on invalid chains by tracking invalidity

Browse source 
This tracks the set of all known invalid-themselves blocks (ie
blocks which we attempted to connect but which were found to be
invalid). This is used to cheaply check if new headers build on an
invalid chain.

While we're at it we also resolve an edge-case in invalidateblock
on pruned nodes which results in them needing a reindex if they
fail to reorg.

/** In order to efficiently track invalidity of headers, we keep the set of
* blocks which we tried to connect and found to be invalid here (ie which
* were set to BLOCK_FAILED_VALID since the last restart). We can then
* walk this set and check if a new header is a descendant of something in
* this set, preventing us from having to walk mapBlockIndex when we try
* to connect a bad block and fail.
*
* While this is more complicated than marking everything which descends
* from an invalid block as invalid at the time we discover it to be
* invalid, doing so would require walking all of mapBlockIndex to find all
* descendants. Since this case should be very rare, keeping track of all
* BLOCK_FAILED_VALID blocks in a set should be just fine and work just as
* well.
*
* Because we alreardy walk mapBlockIndex in height-order at startup, we go
* ahead and mark descendants of invalid blocks as FAILED_CHILD at that time,
* instead of putting things in this set.
