/**
* An orphan block is one that does not connect to the chain anywhere (ie we can't find its
* parent, therefore it's an orphan). Typically this occurs when we are downloading the chain and
* didn't reach the head yet, and/or if a block is solved whilst we are downloading. It's possible
* that we see a small amount of orphan blocks which chain together, this method tries walking
* backwards through the known orphan blocks to find the bottom-most.
*
* @return from or one of froms parents, or null if "from" does not identify an orphan block
