Feature request: allow incrementing nonce of unlocked accounts

• I asked about this on gitter: [x]
• Link to my question on gitter: https://gitter.im/ConsenSys/truffle?at=5eaac688d898fe7a3758f009

Expected Behavior

It should be possible to increment the nonce of an unlocked account via an RPC call.

Current Behavior

A user may wish to deploy to contract at a specific address, where that deployment address requires a very high nonce. Currently this can only be achieved by broadcasting many empty transactions in a for loop as a way to increment the nonce. This is time consuming and inefficient.

Possible Solution

Add an RPC endpoint evm_nonce that accepts two parameters: the hex address of the account to increment, and an integer value to be added to the nonce. The return value is the new nonce.

Did I open this in the wrong repo? Should I move it to ganache-core?
