don't allow non-standard tx into wallet unless received by a block #412

Quoting from the bitcoin-qt 0.8.2 changelog:

"Non-standard transactions [...] will not show up in your wallet until they are
included in a block."

I think bitcoinj should mirror this rule, at least for criteria it can verify. 
In this case, I'm thinking of the "5430 Satoshi rule".

It is my understanding that this issue is not (yet) part of Matt's feerules 
branch.

This is only relevant once we can accept transactions from outside the P2P 
network (e.g. via bluetooth). Transactions can be unacceptable for all kinds of 
reasons that we cannot check, that's why we rely on the propagation test before 
inserting it into the wallet - that check will also avoid us accepting 
non-standard transactions.

So, I'm going to mark this low priority.
