[net processing] Only call MaybeDiscourageAndDisconnect from SendMessages
`nMisbehavior` is a tally in `CNodeState` that can be incremented from anywhere. That almost always happens inside a `ProcessMessages()` call (because we increment the misbehavior score when receiving a bad messages from a peer), but not always. See, for example, the call to `MaybePunishNodeForBlock()` inside `BlockChecked()`, which is an asynchronous callback from the validation interface, executed on the scheduler thread. As long as `MaybeDiscourageAndDisconnect()` is called regularly for the node, then the misbehavior score exceeding the 100 threshold will eventually result in the peer being punished. It doesn't really matter where that `MaybeDiscourageAndDisconnect()` happens, but it makes most sense in `SendMessages()` which is where we do general peer housekeeping/maintenance. Therefore, remove the `MaybeDiscourageAndDisconnect()` call in `ProcessMessages()` and move the `MaybeDiscourageAndDisconnect()` call in `SendMessages()` to the top of the function. This moves it out of the cs_main lock scope, so take that lock directly inside `MaybeDiscourageAndDisconnect()`. Historic note: `MaybeDiscourageAndDisconnect()` was previously `SendRejectsAndCheckIfBanned()`, and before that was just sending rejects. All of those things required cs_main, which is why `MaybeDiscourageAndDisconnect()` was called after the ping logic.
