rpc: Named argument support for bitcoin-cli

Browse Source 
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
