Change default block priority size to 0

morcos · morcos · commit 50947ef23f46 · 2015-11-30T16:16:24.000-05:00
Make RPC tests have a default block priority size of 50000 (the old default) so we can still use free transactions in RPC tests.  When priority is eliminated, we will have to make a different change if we want to continue allowing free txs.
