"""Tests that a mempool transaction expires after a given timeout and that its
children are removed as well.

Both the default expiry timeout defined by DEFAULT_MEMPOOL_EXPIRY_HOURS and a user
definable expiry timeout via the '-mempoolexpiry=<n>' command line argument
(<n> is the timeout in hours) are tested.
