Added -purgetx command line option.
When used, purges all transactions from wallet.dat and forces a rescan.
Useful for solving problems with invalid transactions stored in
wallet.dat (for example, after wallet.dat manipulations).

Corrected russian translation.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

This is a useful and simple last-resort solution, but it may be dangerous, as it also removes (valid) unconfirmed transactions and meta-data like source account information.

Translations are very welcome, but can you do them in a separate commit?
I do Bitcoin stuff.

Hope I can. Still trying to understand GIT ideology.
The purgetx pull was done following step-by-step instructions.
