* Compute smart timestamp for a transaction being added to the wallet.
*
* Logic:
* - If sending a transaction, assign its timestamp to the current time.
* - If receiving a transaction outside a block, assign its timestamp to the
* current time.
* - If receiving a block with a future timestamp, assign all its (not already
* known) transactions' timestamps to the current time.
* - If receiving a block with a past timestamp, before the most recent known
* transaction (that we care about), assign all its (not already known)
* transactions' timestamps to the same timestamp as that most-recent-known
* transaction.
* - If receiving a block with a past timestamp, but after the most recent known
* transaction, assign all its (not already known) transactions' timestamps to
* the block time.
*
