net: require a verack before responding to anything else
7a8c251 made this logic hard to follow. After that change, messages would not be sent to a peer via SendMessages() before the handshake was complete, but messages could still be sent as a response to an incoming message. For example, if a peer had not yet sent a verack, we wouldn't notify it about new blocks, but we would respond to a PING with a PONG. This change makes the behavior straightforward: until we've received a verack, never send any message other than version/verack/reject. The behavior until a VERACK is received has always been undefined, this change just tightens our policy. This also makes testing much easier, because we can now connect but not send version/verack, and anything sent to us is an error.
