integration: add reorg regression test for fetchHeaderBlocks fork point

This tests that after two nodes diverge and reconnect, the shorter
node downloads blocks starting from the fork point rather than its
current height. It verifies the reorg completes, both nodes
converge, and the orphaned fork appears as a side chain via
getchaintips.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit only adds a new regression test file. It does not change any production code, so it cannot by itself introduce a security vulnerability or fix one. The test documents a previously fixed bug in block reorganization handling and verifies the fix remains effective.

Recommended action

No security action required; treat as normal test coverage addition. If reviewing the referenced historical bug, ensure the actual fix in fetchHeaderBlocks is present in the branch being evaluated.

Security signals we found
