Add new rpc call: abandontransaction

Unconfirmed transactions that are not in your mempool either due to eviction or other means may be unlikely to be mined.  abandontransaction gives the wallet a way to no longer consider as spent the coins that are inputs to such a transaction.  All dependent transactions in the wallet will also be marked as abandoned.
