Store fewer orphan tx by default, add -maxorphantx option
There is no reason to store thousands of orphan transactions; normally an orphan's parents will either be broadcast or mined reasonably quickly. This pull drops the maximum number of orphans from 10,000 down to 100, and adds a command-line option (-maxorphantx) that is just like -maxorphanblocks to override the default.
