On hosts that had spent some time with a failed internet connection their
nAttempts penalty was going through the roof (e.g. thousands for all peers)
and as a result the connect search was pegging the CPU and failing to get
more than a 4 connections after days of running (because it was taking so
long per try).
According to Tor's extensions to the SOCKS protocol
(https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/socks-extensions.txt)
it is possible to perform stream isolation by providing authentication
to the proxy. Each set of credentials will create a new circuit,
which makes it harder to correlate connections.
This patch adds an option, `-proxyrandomize` (on by default) that randomizes
credentials for every outgoing connection, thus creating a new circuit.

Compare the block download timeout to what the timeout would be if calculated
based on current time and current value of nQueuedValidatedHeaders, but
ignoring other in-flight blocks from the same peer. If the calculation based on
present conditions is shorter, then set that to be the time after which we
disconnect the peer for not delivering this block.

Some tests in CheckBlockIndex require chainActive.Tip(), but when reindexing, chainActive has not been set on the first call to CheckBlockIndex.
reindex.py starts a node, mines 3 blocks, stops, and reindexes with CheckBlockIndex enabled.

SendMessages will now call getheaders on both inbound and outbound peers,
once the headers chain is close to synced. It will also try downloading
blocks from inbound peers once we're out of initial block download (so
inbound peers will participate in parallel block fetching for the last day
or two of blocks being downloaded).
