Merge #13048: [tests] Fix feature_block flakiness

c1d742025c [tests] Fix feature_block flakiness (John Newbery)

Pull request description:

  feature_block.py occasionally fails on Travis. I believe this is due to
  a a race condition when reconnecting to bitcoind after a subtest that
  expects disconnection. If the test runs ahead and sends the INV for the
  subsequent test before we've received the initial sync getheaders, then
  we may end up sending two headers messages - one as a response to the
  initial sync getheaders and one in response to the INV getheaders. If
  both of those headers fail validation with a DoS score of 50 or higher,
  then we'll unexpectedly be disconnected.

  There is only one validation failure that has a DoS score bewteen 50 and
  100, which is high-hash. That's why the test is failing immediately
  after the "Reject a block with invalid work" subtest.

  Fix is to wait for the initial getheaders from the peer before we
  start populating our blockstore. That way we won't have any invalid
  headers to respond to it with.
