rescan: wait till current or end height reached

Let the rescan function wait until the filter headers have either caught
up to the back end chain or until they have caught up to the specified
rescan end block. This lets the rescan operation take advantage of doing
batch filter fetching during rescan making the operation a lot faster
since filters can be fetched in batches of 1000 instead of one at a
time.
