Merge #11458: Don't process unrequested, low-work blocks

Browse Source 
01b52ce Add comment explaining forced processing of compact blocks (Suhas Daftuar)
08fd822 qa: add test for minchainwork use in acceptblock (Suhas Daftuar)
ce8cd7a Don't process unrequested, low-work blocks (Suhas Daftuar)

Pull request description:

  A peer could try to waste our resources by sending us unrequested blocks with
  low work (eg to fill up our disk).  Since e265200 we no longer request blocks until we
  know we're on a chain with more than nMinimumChainWork (our anti-DoS
  threshold), but we would still process unrequested blocks that had more work
  than our tip (which generally has low-work during IBD), even though we may not
  yet have found a headers chain with sufficient work.

  Fix this and add a test.
