Exclude peers if we don't have a complete set of their block summaries.

This tightens up the decision making by adding two requirements:

1. The peer must return the same number of summaries to the ones requested.
2. The peer must return a summary that matches its latest reported signature.

This ensures we are always making sync decisions based on accurate data, and removes peers that are currently mid re-org. This is probably more validation than is actually necessary, but it's best to be really thorough here so it is as optimized as possible.
