When the chain sync client gets too far ahead of the block download logic, it will eventually get to a position where it is unable to validate more headers. Currently it throws a HeaderTooFarFromTip exception when this happens, disconnecting from the remote node. However, that is not correct: we should instead pause, wait for the ledger to catch up, and then continue.
