It is quite useful when doing regression and simulation testing to be able to generate a specific number of blocks. Currently, the only available option is to call setgenerate to enable and disable block generation, but there is no way to generate a specific number of blocks.

Thus, a new command named generate should be introduced which takes a single numeric (int) parameter with the number of blocks to generate. The RPC should block until the blocks are generated and it should return the hashes of the generated blocks as a JSON array of strings.
