net: Serve blocks directly from disk when possible

In `ProcessGetBlockData`, send the block data directly from disk if
type MSG_WITNESS_BLOCK is requested. This is a valid shortcut as the
on-disk format matches the network format.

This is expected to increase performance because a deserialization and
subsequent serialization roundtrip is avoided.
