rpc: Named argument support for bitcoin-cli
Usage e.g.:
$ src/bitcoin-cli -testnet -named echo arg0="dfdf"
[
"dfdf"
]
Argument conversion also works, for arguments thus flagged in the table in
`src/rpc/client.cpp`.
$ src/bitcoin-cli -testnet -named echojson arg0="[1,2,3]"
[
[
1,
2,
3
]
]
Unknown parameter (detected server-side):
$ src/bitcoin-cli -testnet -named getinfo arg0="dfdf"
error code: -8
error message:
Unknown named parameter arg0
