Break testnet difficulty reset out of never matching condition.

Browse source 
Testnet resets difficulty if after 2 minutes no block has been
found. However, this feature was implemented with the condition
to only trigger on blocks where no retargeting is done. Since
the introduction of DigiShield, we retarget at every block,
making this condition never to be matched. This commit removes
that condition.

WARNING: THIS COMMIT HARDFORKS THE DOGECOIN TESTNET!
