Use only fresh DisputeStatement-s for dispute spam detection (#4921) (#4957)

handle_import_statements() from  Dispute-Coordinator does spam detection
by counting unconfirmed dispute statements from each validator.

This patch adjusts the logic so that only fresh dispute statements are
counted.

Fresh dispute statement in this case means a statement which was not
loaded from overlay db.
