Merge #11886: Clarify getbalance meaning a tiny bit in response to questions.

c79d73d Clarify getbalance meaning a tiny bit in response to questions. (Matt Corallo)

Pull request description:

  Someone was asking why getbalance "*" was more "correct" than getbalance, which should rarely be true...spendzeroconfchange was the issue.
