+Dynamic loading and creation of wallets

-Previously, wallets could only be loaded at startup, by specifying `-wallet` parameters on the command line or in the bitcoin.conf file. It is now possible to load wallets dynamically at runtime by calling the `loadwallet` RPC.
+Previously, wallets could only be loaded or created at startup, by specifying `-wallet` parameters on the command line or in the bitcoin.conf file. It is now possible to load and create wallets dynamically at runtime:

+- Existing wallets can be loaded by calling the `loadwallet` RPC. The wallet can be specified as file/directory basename (which must be located in the `walletdir` directory), or as an absolute path to a file/directory.
+- New wallets can be created (and loaded) by calling the `createwallet` RPC. The provided name must not match a wallet file in the `walletdir` directory or the name of a wallet that is currently loaded.
-This feature is currently only available through the RPC interface. Wallets loaded in this way will display in the bitcoin-qt GUI.
