Import btcrpcclient repo into rpcclient directory.
This commit contains the entire btcrpcclient repository along with
several changes needed to move all of the files into the rpcclient
directory in order to prepare it for merging.  This does NOT update btcd
or any of the other packages to use the new location as that will be
done separately.

- All import paths in the old btcrpcclient files have been changed to
  the new location
- All references to btcrpcclient as the package name have been changed to
  rpcclient

btcd Websockets Example

This example shows how to use the rpcclient package to connect to a btcd RPC server using TLS-secured websockets, register for block connected and block disconnected notifications, and get the current block count.

This example also sets a timer to shutdown the client after 10 seconds to demonstrate clean shutdown.

Running the Example

The first step is to use go get to download and install the rpcclient package:

$ go get github.com/btcsuite/btcd/rpcclient

Next, modify the main.go source to specify the correct RPC username and password for the RPC server:

	User: "yourrpcuser",
	Pass: "yourrpcpass",

Finally, navigate to the example's directory and run it with:

$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/btcsuite/btcd/rpcclient/examples/btcdwebsockets
$ go run *.go
