Check for parent of first ready block being on chain (paritytech#1812)

When retrieving the ready blocks, verify that the parent of the first
ready block is on chain. If the parent is not on chain, we are
downloading from a fork. In this case, keep downloading until we have a
parent on chain (common ancestor).

Resolves paritytech#493.
