blockchain: add missing overflow check for already generated coins

Browse source 
When reaching the tail emission phase, the amount of coins will
eventually go over MONEY_SUPPLY, overflowing 64 bits. There was
a check added to blockchain_storage, but this was not ported to
the blockchain DB version.

Reported by smooth.
