Pieter Wuille 944c54290d net_processing: drop Misbehavior for unconnecting headers ...

This misbehavior was originally intended to prevent bandwidth wastage due to
actually observed very broken (but likely non-malicious) nodes that respond
to GETHEADERS with a response unrelated to the request, triggering a request
cycle.

This has however largely been addressed by the previous commit, which causes
non-connecting HEADERS that are received while a GETHEADERS has not been
responded to, to be ignored, as long as they do not time out (2 minutes).
With that, the specific misbehavior is largely irrelevant (for inbound peers,
it is now harmless; for outbound peers, the eviction logic will eventually
kick them out if they're not keeping up with headers at all).
