addmultisigaddress creates an address respecting the setting, being unable to generate a specific type of address without also adding it to the wallet seems wrong.

I suppose in the future `addresstype` may be refactored to be wallet-specific, which would leave this non-wallet rpc call without an argument. Perhaps there should just be an optional parameter to set it.

    bool fUpdated = false;
    {
        LOCK(cs_wallet); 
        std::map<CTxDestination, CAddressBookData>::iterator mi = mapAddressBook.find(address);
        fUpdated = mi != mapAddressBook.end();
        mapAddressBook[address].name = strName;
        if (!strPurpose.empty()) 
            mapAddressBook[address].purpose = strPurpose;
    }
    NotifyAddressBookChanged(this, address, strName, ::IsMine(*this, address) != ISMINE_NO,
                             strPurpose, (fUpdated ? CT_UPDATED : CT_NEW) );
    if (!strPurpose.empty() && !WalletBatch(*database).WritePurpose(EncodeDestination(address), strPurpose))
        return false;
    return WalletBatch(*database).WriteName(EncodeDestination(address), strName);
}
