Improve ScanForWalletTransactions return value
Change ScanForWalletTransactions return value so it is possible to distinguish scans that skip reading every block (due to the nTimeFirstKey optimization) from scans that fail while reading the chainActive.Tip() block. Return value is now non-null in the non-failing case. This change doesn't affect any user-visible behavior, it is only an internal API improvement. The only code currently using the ScanForWalletTransactions return value is in importmulti, and importmulti always calls ScanForWalletTransactions with a pindex pointing to the first block in chainActive whose block time is >= (nLowestTimestamp - 7200), while ScanForWalletTransactions would only return null without reading blocks when pindex and every block after it had a block time < (nTimeFirstKey - 7200). These conditions could never happen at the same time because nTimeFirstKey <= nLowestTimestamp. I'm planning to make a more substantial API improvement in the future (making ScanForWalletTransactions private and exposing a higher level rescan method to RPC code), but Matt Corallo <git@bluematt.me> pointed out this odd behavior introduced by e2e2f4c "Return errors from importmulti if complete rescans are not successful" yesterday, so I'm following up now to get rid of badness introduced by that merge.
