Fix fast-shutdown hang on ThreadImport+GenesisWait

TheBlueMatt · TheBlueMatt · commit 1c9394ad477d · 2018-02-06T15:13:59.000-05:00
If the user somehow manages to get into ShutdownRequested before
ThreadImport gets to ActivateBestChain() we may hang waiting on
condvar_GenesisWait forever. A simple wait_for and
ShutdownRequested resolves this case.
