Updated settings

• If the -checkblocks or -checklevel options are explicitly provided by the user, but the verification checks cannot be completed due to an insufficient dbcache, Bitcoin ABC will now return an error at startup.
• The -maxavalancheoutbound option now takes precedence over the -maxconnections option.

RPC

The verifychain RPC will now return false if the checks didn’t fail, but couldn’t be completed at the desired depth and level. This could be due to missing data while pruning, due to an insufficient dbcache, or due to the node being shutdown before the call could finish.
