This changes how the downloader works, a little bit. Previously, when block sync started,
we immediately started filling up to 8192 blocks. Usually this is fine, blocks are small
in the early numbers. The threshold then is lowered as we measure the size of the blocks
that are filled.
However, if the node is shut down and restarts syncing while we're in a heavy segment,
that might be bad. This PR introduces a more conservative initial threshold of 2K blocks
instead.

Some tests take quite some time during exit, which I think causes
some appveyor fails like this:
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/ethereum/go-ethereum/builds/39511210/job/xhom84eg2e4uulq3
One of the things that seem to take time during exit is waiting
(up to 100ms) for the syncbloom to close. This PR changes it to use
a channel, instead of looping with a 100ms wait.
This also includes some unrelated changes improving the reliability of
eth/fetcher tests, which fail a lot because they are time-dependent.
