This prevents mapOrphanTransactions from growing without bound.

It should eventually be combined with DoS code to disconnect and ban peers that send "too many" orphans, but we need to think a little harder about how to figure out how many is too many.

Tested on a testnet-in-a-box setup and a generate-nothing-but-orphans tool that I wrote (but won't release); I'm going to pull this for 0.6rc2
