RPC method author_pendingExtrinsics no longer available

[emielsebastiaan]

Since 0.2.13 RPC method: 'author_pendingExtrinsics' no longer available.

Check here: https://poc-2.polkadot.io/#/rpc

Node returns:
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"error": {
"code": -32601,
"message": "Method not found"
},
"id": 1
}

@jacogr pointed out in watercooler that it went into the 0.2.x branch by 'accident'. Is it possible to make this method available in the 0.2.x branch again? The POC-2 UI and POLKASCAN use the method.

That specific RPC does not look like it was ever backported to 0.2.13 - https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/tree/v0.2/substrate/rpc/src

(last change to author modules is 2 months ago, last change to chain was 23 days ago - when chain_getBlock was added in #564)

Until this morning poc-2 was running an older master, it is now running 0.2.13 (hence the RPC failing)

Could #563 be backported to the 0.2x branch?

Backported (available in v0.2 branch. will be available on poc-2.polkadot.io whenever that is upgraded).
