when we reconsiderblock, previously only block and it's
descendants were considered as chain tip candidates/inserted into
setBlockIndexCandidates
ex: on this chain, with block 4 invalidated
1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5 -> 6 -> header 7
blocks 4, 5, 6, header 7 have BLOCK_FAILED_* flags set
previously:
- if we reconsiderblock header 7, the chain would have all the
BLOCK_FAILED_* flags cleared but would report chain tip as block 3.
- after restart, it reports correct chain tip block 6.
now:
- if we reconsiderblock header 7, the correct chain tip block 6 is
reported since ancestors are also considered as chain tip
candidates/inserted into setBlockIndexCandidates.

Without doing so, header-only chains building on a chain that
will be marked as invalid would still be eligible for m_best_header.
This improves both getblockchaininfo and getchaintips behavior.
While this adds an iteration over the entire block index, it can only be
triggered by the user (invalidateblock) or by others at a cost (the
header needs to be accepted in the first place, so it needs valid PoW).

This means that it is being called in two situations:
1.) As part of the invalidateblock rpc
2.) When we receive a block for which we have a valid
header in our block index, but the block turns out to be invalid
The previous diff touched most files in ./test/, so bump the headers to
avoid having to touch them again for a bump later.
