Chainstate: Chains coordinator is too aggressive at (re-)trying to handle burnchain blocks on boot-up

[jcnelson]

The chains coordinator will call handle_burnchain_block() once per sortition when the node boots up, which over time will cause the node to spend hours and hours of needless I/O time re-considering each sortition. This makes the network slow, and makes rolling out new versions of the nodes needlessly painful.
