Delay getdata requests from peers using txid-based relay

Using both txid and wtxid-based relay with peers means that we could sometimes
download the same transaction twice, if announced via two different hashes from
different peers.

Use a heuristic of delaying txid-peer-getdata requests by 2 seconds, if we have
at least one wtxid-based peer.
