Allow old blocks from peers with lower difficulty (#9226)

Browse Source 
Previously we only allow downloading of old blocks if the peer
difficulty was greater than our syncing difficulty. This change allows
downloading of blocks from peers where the difficulty is greater then
the last downloaded old block.
