Erroring here technically won't cause an invariant break... However, it's unexpected so I felt like logging an error here still made sense.

Notice that we do not log an error below here if if delay < minDelay { as that can happen normally and is handled gracefully.

Why this should be merged
Failing to build a block inside the proposervm unexpectedly can violate the consensus invariant that
BuildBlockwill be called at least once after receiving aPendingTxsmessage.How this works
If the proposervm fails to build a block outside of the inner vm's control, an error should be logged. The exception to this is if the proposervm windower hasn't progressed far enough to attempt to build a block. In this case, we manually mock a
PendingTxsmessage from the inner VM.How this was tested
