Bug 799528 - Crash on account deletion (edit)

New function xaccAccountDeleteAllTransactions.

Delete all transactions before deleting the account; simply deleting the
splits during account destruction isn't safe. In the particular case of an
imbalance account the transaction commit after deleting a split just makes
a new one.
