Save the last unnecessary database read

It's possible coins with the same hash exist when you create a duplicate coinbase, so previously we were reading from the database to make sure we had the old coins cached so if we were to spend the new ones, the old ones would also be spent.  This pull instead just marks the new coins as not fresh if they are from a coinbase, so if they are spent they will be written all the way down to the database anyway overwriting any duplicates.
