netsync: rename headersFirstMode to ibdMode

ibdMode is a more fitting name than headersFirstMode since all blocks
are downloaded headers-first during the initial block download.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a simple rename of an internal variable from 'headersFirstMode' to 'ibdMode' (short for 'initial block download mode') and updates related comments. No behavior of the Bitcoin node software changes; it is purely a code clarity and naming improvement.
