Dave Collins f4d551c08d findcheckpoint: Update to allow first checkpoint.
This updates the findcheckpoint utility to work when there are not
already any checkpoints.  This doesn't really matter for Bitcoin at the
current time, but if a new testnet is created it will not have any
checkpoints to start with and this change also means the utility can
work for alts.

While here, switch a couple of error prints to ensure they contain a
final newline.
