rABCdc136cfed9c4: [avalanche] Simplify contenders by treating rejection and invalidation the same

Summary

This provides a stronger guarantee that once a contender is finalized, it will never be reverted, even if the system managed to re-poll a finalized contender. We don't really care that invalidated contenders do not get removed from the winner set so long as blocks get mined with staking rewards going to a finalized contender.

249 ↗	(On Diff #52789)	This one should still be valid, just use reject instead of invalidate
262 ↗	(On Diff #52789)	It's worth testing the actual behavior, aka rejecting does not undo finalization

249 ↗	(On Diff #52789)	This is already handled by the reject case above since each proof has a different state.
