Added a new argument to 'getnewaddress' - 'rawpubkey' - that makes it return an object with both the address and the pubkey in hexadecimal form.

This is useful for programs that interact with the bitcoin network at a lower level (namely, handling public key data) such as p2pool.

Extending validateaddress to include this information seems like a better place to put this functionality. (if you pass one of your addresses, of course)

Will do that and make a new pull request.
