Add -nicestart option to run initialization at lower priority (Windows-only for now)
This can be useful for people that run bitcoin at system startup.

note: -nicestart is a no-op on non-windows systems because setpriority/nice require superuser privileges to raise the process priority (even if just to bring it back as it was at the start of the process)
Seems like too much of a special case. Will any user ever use it, given that it defaults to off?
this allows querying for ranges, i.e. transactions [from, from+count)
I didn't want to make it the default because I'd use it but I'm not 100% sure others will want the same. It might be sensible to do it by default if we're starting in GUI mode.
There you go. Thanks for the suggestion.
