It may be possible that a peer connection will deadlock, due to software bugs such as #18808.
Fix this by detecting them in the fuzz target.
Can be tested by introducing a bug such as:
diff --git a/src/net_processing.cpp b/src/net_processing.cpp
index 1067341495..97495a13df 100644
--- a/src/net_processing.cpp
