VersionTally keeps track of BIP activations in the above cases. However,
this only works if you sync the chain from genesis; in the more common
case of syncing from a checkpoint the first x blocks are not enforced.

Enforcing BIP9-based activiations will be even harder as version bits
don't keep their state after activation.

In the end, we will need to depend on hardcoded block heights, but those
we only know after the fact. So basically it's the PoW that counts.
