Solving a last edge case race condition for the tier two initial sync process:
if a
fbvoteorfbsmessage is received before or while we are synchronizing the MN list, there can be a race where the node will move to single items requests instead of requesting the full list (which is not what we want in the initial sync process as single items requests sync is a reactive approach while full list requests is a proactive one).Plus, decreased the DoS score for a bad mnb signature during the initial synchronization process, so we don't end up banning pre v5.3.3 nodes too fast for an invalidly serialized mnb (this issue was solved in #2611 removing the mnb BIP155 flag, this is only an extra guard to give a bit more time to non-updated peers to upgrade while the network is upgrading).
