Pull request description:
Adds a `loadwallet` RPCs. This allows wallets to be loaded dynamically during runtime without having to stop-start the node with new `-wallet` params.
Includes functional tests and release notes.
Limitations:
- currently this functionality is only available through the RPC interface.
- wallets loaded in this way will not be displayed in the GUI.
