This leads to all sorts of problems; in particular it's incredibly
slow (days, weeks!) if bitcoind is a long way back. This also changes
the behaviour of a rescan argument referring to a future block: we will
also refuse to start in that case, which I think is the correct behavior.
We already ignore bitcoind if it goes backwards while we're running.
Also cover a false positive memleak.
Changelog-Fixed: If bitcoind goes backwards (e.g. reindex) refuse to start (unless forced with --rescan).

the updates bad gossip.

that all is working as expected.

This is just the test that we use to verify block backfilling below the wallet
birth height is working correctly.
