Subject: [PATCH 02/13] rpc: Support named arguments

The [JSON-RPC specification](http://www.jsonrpc.org/specification) allows passing parameters as an Array, for by-position
arguments, or an Object, for by-name arguments.

This implements by-name arguments, but preserves full backwards compatibility. API using by-name arguments are
easier to extend, and easier to use (no need to guess which argument goes where).

Named are mapped to positions by a per-call structure, provided through the RPC command table.

Missing arguments will be replaced by null, except if at the end, then the argument is left out completely.

Currently calls fail (though not crash) on intermediate nulls, but this should be improved on a per-call basis later.

Subject: [PATCH 11/13] rpc: Argument name consistency

The meaning is clear from the context, and we're inconsistent here.
Also save typing when using named arguments.

- `bitcoinaddress` -> `address`
- `bitcoinprivkey` -> `privkey`
- `bitcoinpubkey` -> `pubkey`

Subject: [PATCH 12/13] rpc: Named argument support for bitcoin-cli

Usage e.g.:

    $ src/bitcoin-cli -testnet -named echo arg0="dfdf"
    [
    "dfdf"
    ]

Argument conversion also works, for arguments thus flagged in the table in
`src/rpc/client.cpp`.

    $ src/bitcoin-cli -testnet -named echojson arg0="[1,2,3]"
    [
      [
        1,
        2,
        3
      ]
    ]

Unknown parameter (detected server-side):

    $ src/bitcoin-cli -testnet -named getinfo arg0="dfdf"
    error code: -8
    error message:
    Unknown named parameter arg0
