// In this test, we construct two sets of headers from genesis, one with
// sufficient proof of work and one without.
// 1. We deliver the first set of headers and verify that the headers sync state
//    updates to the REDOWNLOAD phase successfully.
// 2. Then we deliver the second set of headers and verify that they fail
//    processing (presumably due to commitments not matching).
// 3. Finally, we verify that repeating with the first set of headers in both
//    phases is successful.
