Remove Wallet Tools

We already have the exact same funtionality in /contrib/bitrpc/bitrpc.py

If we really do need standalone scripts, then I'll write something to
pull it from that file, rather than having duplicate code.

Forgot to remove wallet tools from index.

BitRPC.py is able to do the exact same thing as `walletchangepass.py` and `walletunlock.py`. Their respective commands in BitRPC.py are:
bitrpc.py walletpassphrasechange
bitrpc.py walletpassphrase

### Wallet Tools ###
These are two simple python scripts which send the appropriate RPC commands to unlock a wallet and change a wallet password. **They are intended to prevent users from having to enter their password as a command-line argument which could then be stored in the console buffer/history in plaintext.**
Both tools rely on bitcoin/bitcoind running with `server=1` and an `rpcuser` and `rpcpassword` set in `bitcoin.conf`. They can be easily modified for non-standard ports. [walletunlock.py](/contrib/wallettools/walletunlock.py) unlocks the wallet for 60 seconds by default, changeable in code, and both modules rely upon python-json-rpc.
