Subject: [PATCH] net: parse reject earlier

Prior to this change, all messages were ignored until a VERSION message was
received, as well as possibly incurring a ban score.

Since REJECT messages can be sent at any time (including as a response to a bad
VERSION message), make sure to always parse them.

Moving this parsing up keeps it from being caught in the
if (pfrom->nVersion == 0) check below.
