qt: remove awkward way of setting GUI pages
Selecting the button for a pages was going through bitcoingui->walletframe->walletview->bitcoingui. Because of this, the actions for the pages had to be exposed on the BitcoinGUI object.

+A second class called *WalletFrame* inheriting from QFrame has been written as a container for embedding all wallet-related
+controls into BitcoinGUI. At present it contains the WalletView instances for the wallets and does little more than passing on messages
+from BitcoinGUI to the currently selected WalletView. It is a WalletFrame instance
that takes the place of what used to be centralWidget in BitcoinGUI. The purpose of this class is to allow future
refinements of the wallet controls with minimal need for further modifications to BitcoinGUI, thus greatly simplifying
merges while reducing the risk of breaking top-level stuff.
