Shut down if trying to connect a corrupted block
The call to CheckBlock() in ConnectBlock() is redundant with calls to it prior to storing a block on disk. If CheckBlock() fails with an error indicating the block is potentially corrupted, then shut down immediately, as this is an indication that the node is experiencing hardware issues. (If we didn't shut down, we could go into an infinite loop trying to reconnect this same bad block, as we're not setting the block's status to FAILED in the case where there is potential corruption.) If CheckBlock() fails for some other reason, we'll end up flagging this block as bad (perhaps some prior software version "let a bad block in", as the comment indicates), and not trying to connect it again, so this case should be properly handled.
