Merge #13060: [wallet] [rpc] Remove getlabeladdress RPC

67e0e04140 [wallet] [docs] Update release notes for removing `getlabeladdress` (John Newbery)
81608178cf [wallet] [rpc] Remove getlabeladdress RPC (John Newbery)

Pull request description:

  labels are associated with addresses (rather than addresses being
  associated with labels, as was the case with accounts). The
  getlabeladdress does not make sense in this model, so remove it.

  getaccountaddress is still supported for one release as the accounts
  API is deprecated.
