[net] Ignore getheaders requests for very old side blocks

Browse source 
Sending a getheaders message with an empty locator and a stop hash
is a request for a single header by hash. The node will respond with
headers for blocks not in the main chain as well as those in the main
chain. To avoid fingerprinting, the node should, however, ignore
requests for headers on side branches that are too old.
