Fix importmulti failure to return rescan errors

An off-by-one-block bug in importmulti rescan logic could cause it to return
success in an edge case even when a rescan was not successful. The case where
this would happen is if there were multiple blocks in a row with the same
GetBlockTimeMax() value, and the last block was scanned successfully, but one
or more of the earlier blocks was not readable.
