This prevents too many pending writes building up. Webseed peers re-request synchronously, and the writes are done asynchronously, so they download too quickly and there was no backpressure. The backpressure now is provided by the upper limit on outstanding requests per connection.
New requests weren't being issued to the current peer when being deleted. For webseeds, this would cause them to not bother issuing new requests indefinitely.

Also run the storage failure test with fast disabled for the seeder. This probably would have tickled some issues in the past, so it seems like a good place to try it out.
This should make the expected receive chunk counts match up more correctly. It doesn't seem to affect tests at the moment, but then we don't verify the expected receive chunk counts are correct either.
This can be racy. In the TestReceiveChunkStorageFailure, when we have a storage write failure, we request the chunk again, but the peer has sometimes already sent it, and we return from the connection read loop with unexpected chunk after receiving it twice.
