Merge #12561: Check for block corruption in ConnectBlock()
Summary:
0e7c52d Shut down if trying to connect a corrupted block (Suhas Daftuar)
Pull request description:
(Updated OP after reworking the approach) Shut down if a corrupted block is found in ConnectBlock(). This prevents an infinite loop trying to connect such a block, and alerts the node operator that there may be potential hardware failure.
