[FAB-5849] calibrate state transfer pace

Blocks received from peers via state transfer are added to the payload
buffer right away regardless the payload buffer's size.

In cases when state transfer is much faster than the commit process,
blocks pile up in the payload buffer and the peer might be out of memory.

This change set makes the method that handles payload reception from remote
peers to add the payloads through the same code path that receives blocks
from the orderer, which blocks in case the payload buffer is too overpopulated.
