Merge #11536: Rename account to label where appropriate

Pull request description:

  Rename account to label where appropriate

  This change only updates strings and adds RPC aliases, but should simplify the implementation of address labels in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/7729, by getting renaming out of the way and letting that change focus on semantics.

  The difference between accounts and labels is that labels apply only to addresses, while accounts apply to both addresses and transactions (transactions have "from" and "to" accounts). The code associating accounts with transactions is clumsy and unreliable so we would like get rid of it.

- The `createrawtransaction` RPC will now accept an array or dictionary (kept for compatibility) for the `outputs` parameter. This means the order of transaction outputs can be specified by the client.
- The `fundrawtransaction` RPC will reject the previously deprecated `reserveChangeKey` option.
- Wallet `getnewaddress` and `addmultisigaddress` RPC `account` named
parameters have been renamed to `label` with no change in behavior.
- Wallet `getlabeladdress`, `getreceivedbylabel`, `listreceivedbylabel`, and
`setlabel` RPCs have been added to replace `getaccountaddress`,
`getreceivedbyaccount`, `listreceivedbyaccount`, and `setaccount` RPCs,
which are now deprecated. There is no change in behavior between the
new RPCs and deprecated RPCs.
- Wallet `listreceivedbylabel`, `listreceivedbyaccount` and `listunspent` RPCs
add `label` fields to returned JSON objects that previously only had
`account` fields.
