This PR prevents ancient blocks sync restarting when the IoChannelQueue becomes full. This was causing some invalid old blocks to be inserted (see #9306). This fix was suggested by @tomusdrw:

  1. Handle the QueueFull error
  2. Just ignore the blocks that couldn't be imported
  3. Re-try importing from the same point a bit later (hoping that the blocks in the queue were imported in the meantime)

edit Only partially addresses #9306. It prevents the sync from restarting from the queue full error, but it will still eventually retract back to genesis (see #9306 for explanation).

@andresilva has a fix for this and will submit a follow up PR.

Looks good, although as is already known it doesn't fix the issue entirely.

Is that an approval in context of #9407, @tomusdrw ?

@5chdn Yes, #9407 descends from this branch and is what I tested.

Previously we only allow downloading of old blocks if the peer

downloading of blocks from peers where the difficulty is greater then
the last downloaded old block.

* Propagate transactions for next 4 blocks. (#9265)

Closes #9255 

This PR also removes the limit of max 64 transactions per packet, currently we only attempt to prevent the packet size to go over 8MB. This will only be the case for super-large transactions or high-block-gas-limit chains.

Patching this is important only for chains that have blocks that can fit more than 4k transactions (over 86M block gas limit)

For mainnet, we should actually see a tiny bit faster propagation since instead of computing 4k pending set, we only need `4 * 8M / 21k = 1523` transactions.

Running some tests on `dekompile` node right now, to check how it performs in the wild.
