Add Generate support in mining.go.

- Create FutureGenerateResult type with Receive() method

- Create GenerateAsync method for Client which returns a
  FutureGenerateResult

- Create Generate method for Client which calls GenerateAsync
  and then calls Receive() on the returned FutureGenerateResult
