Pull request description:

[Reviewer hint: use [?w=1](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10275/files?w=1) to avoid seeing a bunch of indentation changes.]

Presuming a user knows the block hash of the block containing a given transaction, this PR allows them to fetch the raw transaction, even without `-txindex`. It also enables support for getting transactions that are in orphaned blocks.

Note that supplying a block hash will override mempool and txindex support in `GetTransaction`. The rationale behind this is that a transaction may be in multiple places (orphaned blocks) and if the user supplies an explicit block hash it should be adhered to.

```Bash
$ # a41.. is a tx inside an orphan block ..3c6f.. -- first try getting it normally
$ ./bitcoin-cli getrawtransaction a41e66ee1341aa9fb9475b98cfdc1fe1261faa56c0a49254f33065ec90f7cd79 1
error code: -5
error message:
No such mempool transaction. Use -txindex to enable blockchain transaction queries. Use gettransaction for wallet transactions.
$ # now try with block hash
$ ./bitcoin-cli getrawtransaction a41e66ee1341aa9fb9475b98cfdc1fe1261faa56c0a49254f33065ec90f7cd79 1 0000000000000000003c6fe479122bfa4a9187493937af1734e1e5cd9f198ec7
