Sync Manager Algorithm:
Connect to N peers (protocol contains chain id check irreversible fork check)
Get head block for each peer
Target sync block is (min(peer_head_blocks) - my_head_block) / 2 (perhaps maximum of 100k)
For each peer, request block id at target sync block height, separating peers in to different forks depending on response
For each fork, make batch requests to get caught up to head block id at height for that fork
If our node is now within delta D blocks of peer, switch it to gossip mode
Repeat until all peers are in gossip mode
