blockchain/vX reactor priority was decreased because during the normal operation (i.e. when the node is not fast syncing) blockchain priority can't be the same as consensus reactor priority. Otherwise, it's theoretically possible to slow down consensus by constantly requesting blocks from the node. NOTE: ideally blockchain/vX reactor priority would be dynamic. e.g. when the node is fast syncing, the priority is 10 (max), but when it's done fast syncing - the priority gets decreased to 5 (only to serve blocks for other nodes). But it's not possible now, therefore I decided to focus on the normal operation (priority = 5). evidence and consensus critical messages are more important than the mempool ones, hence priorities are bumped by 1 (from 5 to 6). statesync reactor priority was changed from 1 to 5 to be the same as blockchain/vX priority.
