Implement antisocial feature - just request blocks and ask that transactions info not be sent.
Per-peer block download tracking and stalled download detection.

Keep track of which block is being requested (and to be requested) from
each peer, and limit the number of blocks in-flight per peer. In addition,
detect stalled downloads, and disconnect if they persist for too long.

This means blocks are never requested twice, and should eliminate duplicate
downloads during synchronization.
