validation: add RecalculateBestHeader() function

It recalculates m_best_header by looping over the entire
block index. Even though this is not very performant, it
will only be used in rare situations that cannot be
triggered by others without a cost:
As part of to invalidateblock / reconsiderblock rpcs, or when a
block with an accepted header with valid PoW turns out to be invalid
later during full validation.
