Choking peers loop

Choking peers like this should be removed.

I've seen this happen before as well.

The "peer is choking" message comes from bittorrent-protocol and it can happen for two reasons:

1. We have a outstanding pieces requests to a peer, and the peer decides to choke us. So the requests all get canceled.
2. We are trying to make a request to a peer that is choking us. This is not allowed and would cause the peer to disconnect from us for misbehaving, so it is prevented by bittorrent-protocol library.

I think we're probably seeing the second case here, since it's the same piece and offset that are being repeatedly requested. So this is likely a bug in webtorrent itself.

@feross yes we also observed choking hangs, see #963
it will be nice if this get solved or a better choke handling gets implemented so the download don't just hangs

web seeds shouldn't choke, added PR #972

[feross]

Fixed by #972
