Do not ban peers for sending multiple valid requests#8325

We introduced banning of peers who spam us with the same request (more than 2 times). However, we missed that it is completely legal to send the same request multiple times as long as we did not provide any answer. An example for that is the justification request. This request is send multiple times until we could fetch the justification from one of our peers. So, the solution to this problem is to tag requests as fulfilled and to start counting these fulfilled requests. If the number is higher than what we allow, the peer should be banned.

You mean it is legal to send the same request multiple times when we provide an empty answer? The sync protocol requires that each request will either be answered (possible with empty block list), or the connection to be terminated. |

Yes. This for example happens for the justification request. |
