- for a wallet with no password, running commands with a pw given should raise InvalidPassword, instead of ignoring the provided pw - and for wallet.unlock, it is very confusing to save the given pw in memory, if the wallet does not actually use a pw

@ecdsa commented out of band that load_wallet should not care about the keystore, only about the storage (wallet.check_password tests both storage and keystore), and e.g. if a password is given to load_wallet for a wallet that only has keystore encryption, load_wallet should unconditionally raise, even if the provided password matches the keystore
