   Describe the issue

   The getblocktemplate RPC output does not list the 'rules' field in the template request object, as described in BIP9.

   What version of bitcoin-core are you using?

   0.13.1rc1

   As reported on IRC by @laanwj:

   22:43:56 < Lightsword> sipa, how do I do that with bitcoin-cli?
   22:45:27 < sipa> $ ./bitcoin-cli -testnet getblocktemplate '{"rules":["segwit"]}'
   22:46:17 < wumpus> seems that's not documented in the help for the request
   22:46:44 < wumpus> just 'capabilities' and 'mode'; 'rules' is only shown as a reply field

   per @laanwj : Also the type of jsonrequestobject is mentioned to be a string, but it is a JSON object that needs to be passed in.
