For on-demand justifications, peer selection is based on witnessed gossip votes. This commit changes the condition for selecting a peer to request justification for `block` from "last voted on >= `block`" to "peer last voted on strict > `block`". When allowing `>=` we see nodes continuously spamming unsuccessful on-demand requests to nodes which are still voting on a block without having a justification available. One way to fix the spam would be to add some rate-limiting or backoff period when requesting justifications. The other solution (present in this commit) is to simply request justifications from peers that are voting on future blocks so we know they're _guaranteed_ to have the wanted mandatory justification available to send back.

License
- Substrate Primitives (
sp-*), Frame (frame-*) and the pallets (pallets-*), binaries (/bin) and all other utilities are licensed under Apache 2.0. - Substrate Client (
/client/*/sc-*) is licensed under GPL v3.0 with a classpath linking exception.
The reason for the split-licensing is to ensure that for the vast majority of teams using Substrate to create feature-chains, then all changes can be made entirely in Apache2-licensed code, allowing teams full freedom over what and how they release and giving licensing clarity to commercial teams.
In the interests of the community, we require any deeper improvements made to Substrate's core logic (e.g. Substrate's internal consensus, crypto or database code) to be contributed back so everyone can benefit.
