[net processing] Don't process mutated blocks
We preemptively perform a block mutation check before further processing a block message (similar to early sanity checks on other messsage types). The main reasons for this change are as follows: - `CBlock::GetHash()` is a foot-gun without a prior mutation check, as the hash returned only commits to the header but not to the actual transactions (`CBlock::vtx`) contained in the block. - We have observed attacks that abused mutated blocks in the past, which could have been prevented by simply not processing mutated blocks (e.g. bitcoin#27608).
