4433ed0f730cfd60eeba3694ff3c283ce2c0c8ee [validation] Crash if disconnecting a block fails (Suhas Daftuar)
Pull request description:
If we're unable to disconnect a block during normal operation, then that is a
failure of our local system (such as disk failure) or the chain that we are on
(eg CVE-2018-17144), but cannot be due to failure of the (more work) chain that
we're trying to validate.
We should abort rather than stay on a less work chain.
Fixes#14341.

utACK a47df13471e3168e2e02023fb20cdf2414141b36. Didn't bother to review the test in detail, it looked fine. Debated whether invalidateblock should ever crash the node, but *not* crashing in the case of hitting a pruned block (which is the only change here) is clearly better, even if there are other cases I'd argue we should crash in.

utACK a47df13471e3168e2e02023fb20cdf2414141b36. Only change since last review is new comment.
promag:
ACK a47df1347, it takes awhile to quit (RPC connection timeouts) but that's unrelated - hope to fix that soon.
