The [JSON-RPC specification](http://www.jsonrpc.org/specification) allows passing parameters as an Array, for by-position
arguments, or an Object, for by-name arguments.
This implements by-name arguments, but preserves full backwards compatibility. API using by-name arguments are
easier to extend, and easier to use (no need to guess which argument goes where).
Named are mapped to positions by a per-call structure, provided through the RPC command table.
Missing arguments will be replaced by null, except if at the end, then the argument is left out completely.
Currently calls fail (though not crash) on intermediate nulls, but this should be improved on a per-call basis later.

getmemoryinfo
Returns an object containing information about memory usage.
Result:
{
"locked": { (json object) Information about locked memory manager
"used": xxxxx, (numeric) Number of bytes used
"free": xxxxx, (numeric) Number of bytes available in current arenas
"total": xxxxxxx, (numeric) Total number of bytes managed
"locked": xxxxxx, (numeric) Amount of bytes that succeeded locking. If this number is smaller than total, locking pages failed at some point and key data could be swapped to disk.
}
}
Examples:
> bitcoin-cli getmemoryinfo
> curl --user myusername --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id":"curltest", "method": "getmemoryinfo", "params": [] }' -H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://127.0.0.1:8332/

There were discrepancies between usage of "block chain" and "blockchain", I've changed them to the latter. The reason for this was that Wikipedia when describing this data structure writes "A blockchain — *originally block chain*", so it seemed the more appropriate term.
