  1. Abort query if not enough stake connected 

    This commit makes the snowman engine to abort early and avoid sending a query
if the node considers the connected stake as insufficient to achieve a successful poll.

The rational for this, is to prevent the node to try to agree on blocks when it is in a partition.
The intent here is twofold: (1) To prevent needless resource expenditure,
and (2) to prevent snowball from increasing its preference strength while the protocol has no way to make progress.
The higher preference strength in a partition, the longer it takes to recover and achieve consensus once the partition heals.
