Allow createwallet to take empty passwords to make unencrypted wallets
Allow createwallet to take the empty string as a password and interpret that as leaving the wallet unencrypted. Also warn when that happens.

+RPC changes
+-----------
+`createwallet` now returns a warning if an empty string is used as an encryption password, and does not encrypt the wallet, instead of raising an error.
+This makes it easier to disable encryption but also specify other options when using the `bitcoin-cli` tool.
