rpc: Add createauxblock and submitauxblock methods back

Adds back Namecoin's createauxblock and submitauxblock rpc methods
to allow easier integration for mining pools that wish to reuse
existing implementations of Namecoin/Bitcoin merge mining.

Cherry-picked from: michilumin@1c5b9b33

Changes post-pick:
- Fixed issue with erroneously moved LOCK in getauxblock
- Disabled mining of witness tx as done for getauxblock
- Fixed indentation, increasing readability and fixing warnings
- Follow Dogecoin API for "target" instead of "_target"
- Remove personal comments
