This removes all orphan block handling from the syncing process and is part of the overall effort to move to full headers-first syncing as opposed to the current partial header-first checkpoint-based process. It should be noted that this change is made in such a way that the syncing process continues to work properly, however, it is only intended to be an intermediate step, and, as such, it does result in suboptimal behavior once it passes the final checkpoint. That will no longer be the case one the entire sync process conversion is complete. |

netsync
Package netsync implements a concurrency safe block syncing protocol.
Overview
The provided implementation of SyncManager communicates with connected peers to perform an initial block download, keep the chain in sync, and announce new blocks connected to the chain. Currently the sync manager selects a single sync peer that it downloads all blocks from until it is up to date with the longest chain the sync peer is aware of.
