Add rollback limit to block index rewinding

This will prevent users from starting their nodes if they switch between
software versions that implement different network upgrades. It will also
prevent users from using the testnet if they have more than MAX_REORG_LIMIT
post-upgrade blocks, and the upgrade point is shifted in a newer software
version.
