Title: Add block blacklisting RPC

This is a rebased version of a patch that mining.bitcoin.cz used during the march 11 2013 hardfork, to be able to continue using 0.8 while still mining the 0.7 chain.

The reason for submitting it to mainline is:
* When implementing this, I found that there were a few edge-cases in the reorganization handling, which are fixed here. They probably won't ever occur in normal operation, but I prefer the code to be robust.
* For emergencies, having a blacklistblock RPC is certainly useful to have in the code, though I prefer not having it in normal releases. It's only enabled when compiling with ENABLE_BLOCK_BLACKLISTING. The RPC code is always compiled, so we can catch refactorings that would break it, though - just the index entry is not present normally.
