* miner: exit loop when downloader Done or Failed

Following the logic of the comment at the method,
this fixes a regression introduced at 7cf56d6f
, which would allow external parties to DoS with
blocks, preventing mining progress.

* miner: fix waitForMiningState precision

This helper function would return an affirmation
on the first positive match on a desired bool.

This was imprecise; it return false positives
by not waiting initially for an 'updated' value.

This fix causes TestMiner_2 to fail, which is
expected.

* miner: remove TestMiner_2 demonstrating broken test

This test demonstrated the imprecision of the test
helper function waitForMiningState. This function
has been fixed with 6d365c2851, and this test test
may now be removed.

* miner: fix test regarding downloader event/mining expectations

See comment for logic.

* miner: add test describing expectations for downloader/mining events

We expect that once the downloader emits a DoneEvent,
signaling a successful sync, that subsequent StartEvents
are not longer permitted to stop the miner.

This prevents a security vulnerability where forced syncs via
fake high blocks would stall mining operation.

* miner: use 'canStop' state to fix downloader event handling

- Break downloader event handling into event
separating Done and Failed events. We need to
treat these cases differently since a DoneEvent
should prevent the miner from being stopped on
subsequent downloader Start events.

- Use canStop state to handle the one-off
case when a downloader first succeeds.

* miner: refactor miner update logic w/r/t downloader events

This makes mining pause/start logic regarding downloader
events more explicit. Instead of eternally handling downloader
events after the first done event, the subscription is closed
when downloader events are no longer actionable.

* miner: refactor update loop to remove race condition

The go routine handling the downloader events handling
vars in parallel with the parent routine, causing a
race condition.

This change, though ugly, remove the condition while
still allowing the downloader event subscription to be
closed when the miner has no further use for it (ie DoneEvent).
