Deprecate estimatefee in v0.16, for final removal in v0.17.
This commit introduces a phased removal of RPC methods. RPC method is
disabled by default in version x, but can be enabled by using the
`-deprecatedrpc=<method>` argument. RPC method is removed entirely in
version (x+1).
This contains most of the changes of 10563 "remove safe mode", but doesn't
remove the safe mode yet, but put an `ObserveSafeMode()` check in
individual calls with okSafeMode=false.
This cleans up the ugly "okSafeMode" flag from the dispatch tables,
which is not a concern for the RPC server.

90d4d89 scripted-diff: Use the C++11 keyword nullptr to denote the pointer literal instead of the macro NULL (practicalswift)
Pull request description:
Since C++11 the macro `NULL` may be:
* an integer literal with value zero, or
* a prvalue of type `std::nullptr_t`
By using the C++11 keyword `nullptr` we are guaranteed a prvalue of type `std::nullptr_t`.
For a more thorough discussion, see "A name for the null pointer: nullptr" (Sutter &
Stroustrup), http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2007/n2431.pdf
With this patch applied there are no `NULL` macro usages left in the repo:
```
$ git grep NULL -- "*.cpp" "*.h" | egrep -v '(/univalue/|/secp256k1/|/leveldb/|_NULL|NULLDUMMY|torcontrol.*NULL|NULL cert)' | wc -l
0
```
The road towards `nullptr` (C++11) is split into two PRs:
* `NULL` → `nullptr` is handled in PR #10483 (scripted, this PR)
* `0` → `nullptr` is handled in PR #10645 (manual)

This is necessary because core_write has to write amounts in
TxToUniv, and mistakingly uses FormatMoney for that
(which is only for debugging).
We don't move AmountFromValue at the same time, as
this is more challenging due to the RPCError depencency
there.
This changes the logging categories to boolean flags instead of strings.
This simplifies the acceptance testing by avoiding accessing a scoped
static thread local pointer to a thread local set of strings. It
eliminates the only use of boost::thread_specific_ptr outside of
lockorder debugging.
This change allows log entries to be directed to multiple categories
and makes it easy to change the logging flags at runtime (e.g. via
an RPC, though that isn't done by this commit.)
It also eliminates the fDebug global.
Configuration of unknown logging categories now produces a warning.

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.
Also introduce UniValueType
UniValueType is a wrapper for UniValue::VType which allows setting
a typeAny flag. This flag indicates the type does not matter.
(Used by RPCTypeCheckObj)
Split out methods to every module, apart from 'help' and 'stop' which
are implemented in rpcserver.cpp itself.
- This makes it easier to add or remove RPC commands - no longer everything that includes
rpcserver.h has to be rebuilt when there's a change there.
- Cleans up `rpc/server.h` by getting rid of the huge cluttered list of function definitions.
- Removes most of the bitcoin-specific code from rpcserver.cpp and .h.
Continues #7307 for the non-wallet.
Creates the generatetoaddress rpc which is virtually identical to the generate rpc except that it takes an argument for the address to mine to. It does not rely on wallet functionality.
The mining code shared by generate and generatetoaddress has been moved to another method to reduce duplication.
