Recently we improved our verification fo filter headers downloaded as part of #215. As a result of this change, it's possible that a node had an invalid filter header chain that was advertised by all its connected peers (assume they're malicious for the sake of the example). As is, if a peer is running this new commit, and detects an invalid filter from one of their connected peers, then their node will get stuck and won't be able to advanced. What we should do instead is delete the on-disk filter header chain and have it sync from scratch, knowing what the proper element of the chain should be for this newly discovered more valid chain.
