[BUG]: P2P Halt

[mvandeberg]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current behavior

P2P can sometimes halt.

This is caused be a race condition where a child block can be applied before the parent and the result of the messages comes in such that no future attempt is made to apply the block.

Expected behavior

P2P should not halt.

This should be fixed with the following fixes/mitigation:

• When adding the block entry, application should always be requested.
• When children are checked, application should be requested and 'forced'. Forced application should loop (with a delay) trying to apply the block until the current application returns (success or failure).
