core: test locals support in txpool queue limits, fix

The commit reworks the transaction pool queue limitation tests
to cater for testing local accounts, also testing the nolocal flag.

In addition, it also fixes a panic if local transactions exceeded
the global queue allowance (no accounts left to drop from) and also
fixes queue eviction to operate on all accounts, not just the one
being updated.
