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.
