Remove interface communication out of blockchain.py into network.py. network.py handles protocol requests for headers and chunks. blockchain.py continues to handle their analysis and verification. If an interface provides a header chain that doesn't connect, it is dismissed, as per a previous TODO comment. This removes a thread and another source of timeouts. I see no performance issues with this when truncating the blockchain. Rename 'result' to 'header' for clarity.
