sendTransaction does not support nonce parameter

What was wrong?

When passing a custom nonce to web3.eth.sendTransaction, an _send_transaction() got an unexpected keyword argument 'nonce' exception is raised. It is probably because the:

    def _send_transaction(self, _from=None, to=None, gas=None, gas_price=None,
                          value=0, data=b''):

method does not have a nonce keyword argument.

If it is too complicated too implement it perfectly, maybe it should just compare the nonce passed with the next nonce available and just throw an exception if it's not equal...? I wanted to unit-test a piece of code which explicitly passes nonces in order to do some dynamic gas price manipulation, but I cannot because of the above :(

Actually, it works if I initialize eth-testrpc by:

    web3 = Web3(EthereumTesterProvider())

but fails if I do:

    web3 = Web3(TestRPCProvider("127.0.0.1", 12349))
