+- Logs now include which peer sent us a header. Additionaly there are fewer
+  redundant header log messages. A side-effect of this change is that for
+  some untypical cases new headers aren't logged anymore, e.g. a direct
+  `BLOCK` message with a previously unknown header and `submitheader` RPC. (#27826)
