Description
Originally reported on Google Code with ID 98
```
Mode being one of DOWNLOAD or STANDBY.
Rationale: the concept of a "complete download of blockchain" is not meaningful in
Bitcoin, where we might be behind or on a losing fork of the chain and not know it.
We should either continuously try to download, or pause.
Suggested by andreas.schildbach in issue 90.

Research direction
Start by locating downloadBlockChain() and all of its callers, then inspect how blockchain synchronization currently represents download completion. Compare those paths with the issue's DOWNLOAD and STANDBY modes; done means the old method is replaced consistently and the affected behavior is covered by the project's relevant tests.
