ledger_request should confirm ledger is present (RIPD-1365):

The ledger_request RPC call, under some conditions, did not
actually check that the entire ledger was present in the
database, making it unsuitable for use in cases where the
database was believed to be incorrect or incomplete.
With this change, the full ledger will be checked for
integrity unless it has already recently been checked
(according to the InboundLedgers cache).
