PR intention
Header sync seemed to be very slow for ProgPoW. This PR fixes it.
Code changes brief
There are two functions for checking PP hash:
GetProgPowHashFullandGetProgPowHashLight. The former does proper check but is relatively slow. The latter doesn't check everything and fast. This PR uses light function duringCheckBlockHeader()call and postpones full check until call toConnectBlock(). This doesn't make the sync process any faster but it makes "syncing headers" stage of full sync take less time.
