Introduce 10 minute block download timeout

This will disconnect peers that do not transfer a block in 10 minutes, plus
5 minutes for every previously queued block with validated headers
(accomodating downstream bandwidth down to a few kilobytes per second - below
that the node would have trouble staying synchronized anyway).
