Limit number of blocks per level (2nd attempt) (#1559)

Prevents the StateDbError::TooManySiblingBlocks error from being triggered by eagerly removing 
stale blocks from the backend on block import and before the error condition is met.

Introduces a just in time block recovery mechanism for blocks that were wrongly removed
via an explicit pov-recovery method
