"""Test mempool persistence.

By default, bitcoind will dump mempool on shutdown and
then reload it on startup. This can be overridden with
the -persistmempool=0 command line option.

Test is as follows:

  - start node0, node1 and node2. node1 has -persistmempool=0
  - create 5 transactions on node2 to its own address. Note that these
    are not sent to node0 or node1 addresses because we don't want
    them to be saved in the wallet.
  - check that node0 and node1 have 5 transactions in their mempools
  - shutdown all nodes.
  - startup node0. Verify that it still has 5 transactions
    in its mempool. Shutdown node0. This tests that by default the
    mempool is persistent.
  - startup node1. Verify that its mempool is empty. Shutdown node1.
    This tests that with -persistmempool=0, the mempool is not
    dumped to disk when the node is shut down.
  - Restart node0 with -persistmempool=0. Verify that its mempool is
    empty. Shutdown node0. This tests that with -persistmempool=0,
    the mempool is not loaded from disk on start up.
  - Restart node0 with -persistmempool. Verify that it has 5
    transactions in its mempool. This tests that -persistmempool=0
    does not overwrite a previously valid mempool stored on disk.
  - Remove node0 mempool.dat and verify savemempool RPC recreates it
    and verify that node1 can load it and has 5 transactions in its
    mempool.
  - Verify that savemempool throws when the RPC is called if
    node1 can't write to disk.
