zebra-network's Connection expects that `fail_with` is only called once per connection, but the overload handling code continues to process the current request after an overload error, potentially leading to further failures. Closes ZcashFoundation#1599
We can't rule out the connection state changing between the state checks and any eventual failures, particularly in the presence of async code. So we turn this panic into a warning.

But keep the extra error information.
Thanks! I changed the PR to keep the panic. I think this change is good to merge now. If I end up doing some refactoring, I'll open a new PR. |

Motivation
zebradkeeps panicking occasionally because it callsfail_withmultiple times on the same connection.We can fix one obvious cause of this bug, but we can't rule out correctly written code also encountering it.
Solution
fail_withthen continues to process the current requestThe code in this pull request has:

Follow Up Work
We should refactor this code so invariant violations like this are caught by the compiler, rather than happening under very specific network conditions - #1610
For bugs that we can't make into compilation errors, we should create better tests for the network code.
