   Demonstration using regtest.

   0# getblockchaininfo
   1  "chain": "regtest",
   2  "blocks": 0,
   3  "headers": 0,
   

   Mine a block

   0# getblockchaininfo
   1  "chain": "regtest",
   2  "blocks": 1,
   3  "headers": 1,
   

   Call invalidateblock

    0# getblockchaininfo
    1  "chain": "regtest",
    2  "blocks": 0,
    3  "headers": 0,
    4# getchaintips
    5    "height": 1,
    6    "hash": "06702ef73c7d8629294f8b6386646f888d60979932ba2ee45e3495d8f25006b5",
    7    "branchlen": 1,
    8    "status": "invalid"
    9  },
   10  {

   13    "branchlen": 0,
   14    "status": "active"
   

   Call reconsiderblock

   0# getchaintips

   2    "hash": "06702ef73c7d8629294f8b6386646f888d60979932ba2ee45e3495d8f25006b5",

   Header count returned by getblockchaininfo is now < # of blocks.

   0# getblockchaininfo

   Can recreate the same behaviour with builds of 23.x and 22.x.
