Occasionally nodes on mainnet will connect to an older stuck version. If this older version is the first in the peer list, it takes a significant amount of time for it to disconnect and normal sync to continue.
On testnet, peers as low as version 0.14.1, 0.14.6 and 0.14.8 has been observed. As the number of testnet nodes are lower than mainnet, this problem is amplified.
Code changes brief
As per #742. Increase minimum version to 140900 as this is the minimum version required to run on the network currently.
