Future commits will deprecate the accounts RPC methods, arguments and
return objects. Set the -deprecatedrpc=accounts switch now so tests
don't break in intermediate commits.
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 it 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.
Prevents OSX firewall allow-this-application-to-accept-inbound-connections
permission popups and is generally safer.
To prevent binding to 127.0.0.1, set self.bind_to_localhost_only = False.
Change all instances of validateaddress to getaddressinfo since it seems that
no test actually uses validateaddress for actually validating addresses.
