Add ‘submitblock’ RPC, split out from ‘getblocktemplate’ RPC #1691

   Rather than having a dual-mode RPC call, create two RPC calls. Luke-Jr already updated BIP 22 to reflect this.

   getblocktemplate mode=template works as before.

   New RPC submitblock takes a parameter, a raw serialized block to be decoded and submitted. At Luke-Jr’s request, submitblock ignores an optional second parameter, if present (an Object for future options).

   Tertiary RPC cleanup commits are also included.

2. RPC: split new 'submitblock' out of 'getblocktemplate' 79f2525ab6
3. RPC, cosmetic: de-indent getblocktemplate() ddd1ffb4f1
4. RPC, cosmetic: Create rpcmining.cpp as new home for mining-related RPC code 7600e7fc39
5. RPC: submitblock returns null on success, string on error a2168d94c0
