blockchain/reactor: respondWithNoResponseMessage for missing height

Fixes #514
Replaces #540

If a peer requests a block with a height that we don't have
respond with a bcNoBlockResponseMessage.
However, according to the Tendermint spec, if all nodes are honest
this condition shouldn't occur, so this is a possible hint of an
dishonest node.
