Merge #11580: Do not send (potentially) invalid headers in response to getheaders

Browse Source 
725b79a [test] Verify node doesn't send headers that haven't been fully validated (Russell Yanofsky)
3788a84 Do not send (potentially) invalid headers in response to getheaders (Matt Corallo)

Pull request description:

  Nowhere else in the protocol do we send headers which are for
  blocks we have not fully validated except in response to getheaders
  messages with a null locator. On my public node I have not seen any
  such request (whether for an invalid block or not) in at least two
  years of debug.log output, indicating that this should have minimal
  impact.

Sends two getheaders requests with null locator values. First request's hashstop

a block which hasn't been validated. Verifies only the first request returns
