Defining non-standard RPC method for transaction list

See original GitHub issue

The official RPC doesn’t (and probably will never) support a method to retrieve transaction list associated with an address.

I think it could make sense having a non-standard method for that. There are multiple ways to create that data:

using a data provider like etherscan/etherchain/ethercamp
hooking into the block polling
building someone’s own service for that
testrpc should be able to provide it too

The reason having a fixed API is useful:

client code needs to be written once
current data providers can be used
there’s a skeleton to work with when creating someone’s own private service

Suggestion: zeroclient_getTransactions which returns an array of transactions

fwiw, the testrpc would handle the polyfill well
