Jim Posen 11d7cae82b rpctest: Compile current version of btcd and run that.
Previously, rpctest would start a btcd node using the btcd executable
in the environment PATH. This caused difficult-to-find issues where
the code would be tested against an older version of btcd, or another
fork entirely. Now it compiles btcd the first time it is needed and
uses that fresh version when launching nodes.
