Fund account on account creation

[clockworkgr]

As a faucet operator I want to be able to fund accounts on creation so that newly created accounts can contain a balance without having to wait for the account creation operation to be in LIB before performing a transfer.

Many gateways have been asking for this kind of feature, and it would be extremely helpful as well for all the "Insufficient funds" support requests for not properly maintained fee pools.

The testnet faucet is also supporting that, but via a separate transfer after account creation, which is error prone.

That would be helpful to the testnet faucet too, which gives every new account x TEST for, well, testing ... :)

@Stefan: that script is not error prone - ever. I wrote it :D :D :p
