fix: potential race condition between add_block and sync #4677

Description

This fixes a potential race condition.

It is possible for add_block to pass the is_add_block_disabled(), start doing orphan validation (which can take quite long).
While this is happening, sync sets the add_block_disabled flag and acquires a read_lock to then do pre-processing to determine sync mode, etc. While this is busy, add_block asks for a write_lock.
Add_block gets its write_lock before sync gets its write_block because of the prioritization of RWLock.

Also moved the if db.contains(&DbKey::BlockHash(block_hash)) before the orphan validation as this is a much cheaper operation.
