blockchain: cache difficulty for next block

Takes about 10 ms, which takes pretty much all of the get_info
RPC, which is called pretty often from wallets.

Also add a new lock so we don't need to lock the blockchain lock,
which will avoid blocking for a long time when calling the getinfo
RPC while syncing. Users of get_difficulty_for_next_block who need
the lock will have locked it already.
