Initial work on BLOCK_SUMMARIES_V2, part of a bigger arc to improve synchronization.

Touches quite a few files because:

* Deprecate HEIGHT_V2 because it doesn't contain enough info to be fully useful during sync.
Newer peers will re-use BLOCK_SUMMARIES_V2.

* For newer peers, instead of sending / broadcasting HEIGHT_V2,
send top N block summaries instead, to avoid requests for minor reorgs.

* When responding to GET_BLOCK, and we don't actually have the requested block,
we currently send an empty BLOCK_SUMMARIES message instead of not responding,
which would cause a slow timeout in Synchronizer.

This pattern has spread to other network message response code,
so now we introduce a generic 'unknown' message type for all these cases.

* Remove PeerChainTipData class entirely and re-use BlockSummaryData instead.

* Each Peer instance used to hold PeerChainTipData - essentially single latest block summary - but now holds a List of latest block summaries.

* PeerChainTipData getter/setter methods modified for compatibility at this point in time.

* Repository methods that return BlockSummaryData (or lists of) now try to fully populate them,
including newly added block reference field.

* Re-worked Peer.canUseCommonBlockData() to be more readable

* Cherry-picked patch to Message.fromByteBuffer() to pass an empty, read-only ByteBuffer to subclass fromByteBuffer() methods, instead of null.
This allows natural use of BufferUnderflowException if a subclass tries to use read(), or hasRemaining(), etc. from an empty data-payload message.
Previously this could have caused an NPE.
