   With this simple change, after running bitcoin-cli -regtest generate 100000, it is possible to interrupt bitcoind cleanly without waiting for the generation to complete.

   utACK on the code change, though I’m somewhat skeptical of the usefulness of the ability to interrupt bitcoind cleanly when generating a bizarre number of blocks in regtest mode.

   FWIW these early-outs are all things that ideally need tests as they introduce more (sometimes unexpected) code paths.
