Pull request description:
Deprecate all accounts functionality and make it only accessible by using `-deprecatedrpc=accounts`.
Accounts specific RPCs, account arguments, and account related results all require the `-deprecatedrpc=accunts` startup option now in order to see account things.
Several wallet functional tests use the accounts system. Those tests are unchanged, except to start the nodes with `-deprecatedrpc=accounts`. We can slowly migrate those tests to use the 'label' API instead of the 'account' API before accounts are fully removed.

Add label API to wallet RPC.
This is one step towards #3816 ("Remove bolt-on account system") although it doesn't
actually remove anything yet.
These initially mirror the account functions, with the following differences:
- These functions aren't DEPRECATED in the help
- Help mentions 'label' instead of accounts. In the language used, labels are
associated with addresses, instead of addresses associated with labels. (unlike
with accounts.)
- Labels have no balance
- No balances in `listlabels`
- `listlabels` has no minconf or watchonly argument
- Like in the GUI, labels can be set on any address, not just receiving addreses
- Unlike accounts, labels can be deleted.
Being unable to delete them is a common annoyance (see #1231).
Currently only by reassigning all addresses using `setlabel`, but an explicit
call `deletelabel` which assigns all address to the default label may make
sense.
Thanks to Pierre Rochard for test fixes.

Pull request description:
Rename account to label where appropriate
This change only updates strings and adds RPC aliases, but should simplify the implementation of address labels in #7729, by getting renaming out of the way and letting that change focus on semantics.
The difference between accounts and labels is that labels apply only to addresses, while accounts apply to both addresses and transactions (transactions have "from" and "to" accounts). The code associating accounts with transactions is clumsy and unreliable so we would like get rid of it.
