CalDescent 476731a2c3 In syncToPeerChain(), only apply a partial set of peer's blocks if they are recent.
If a peer fails to reply with all requested blocks, we will now only apply the blocks we have received so far if at least one of them is recent. This should prevent or greatly reduce the scenario where our chain is taken from a recent to an outdated state due to only partially syncing with a peer. It is best to keep our chain "recent" if possible, as this ensures that the peer selection code always runs, and therefore avoids unnecessarily syncing to a random peer on an inferior chain.
