This modifies the blockchain.ProcessBlock function to return an additional boolean as the first parameter which indicates whether or not the block ended up on the main chain. This is primarily useful for upcoming test code that needs to be able to tell the difference between a block accepted to a side chain and a block that either extends the main chain or causes a reorganize that causes it to become the main chain. However, it is also useful for the addblock utility since it allows a better error in the case a file with out of order blocks is provided.
