Synchronizer now is able to download missing blocks even when reject is happened in consensus.
Benefits
Performance of the network can be increased in some cases.
Explanation
Some peers at the network can be out of sync (the peer is in round 3, when the rest in 5).
Such a peer previously could sync even when a commit of 6th block happened.
Now the peer can sync early and be in a synchronized state when a commit of the 6th block is happening.
Thus there is a chance to do consensus step faster.
Possible Drawbacks
Still some changes has to be introduced by #2066 to the structure of SynchronizationEvent.
