784f757994 [refactor] clarify tests by referencing p2p objects directly (gzhao408)
Pull request description:
The `TestNode` has a `p2p` property which is an alias for `p2ps[0]`.
I think this should be removed because it can be confusing and misleading (to both the test writer and reviewer), especially if a TestNode has multiple p2ps connected (which is the case for many tests).
Another example is when a test has multiple subtests that connect 1 p2p and use the `p2p` property to reference it. If the subtests don't completely clean up after themselves, the subtests may affect one another.
The best way to refer to a connected p2p is use the object returned by `add_p2p_connection` like this:
```py
p2p_conn = node.add_p2p_connection(P2PInterface())
```
A good example is [p2p_invalid_locator.py](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/test/functional/p2p_invalid_locator.py), which cleans up after itself (waits in both `wait_for_disconnect` and in `disconnect_p2ps`) but wouldn't need so much complexity if it just referenced the connections directly.
If there is only one connected, it's not really that tedious to just use `node.p2ps[0]` instead of `node.p2p` (and it can always be aliased inside the test itself).

As discussed in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/19943, this
test may be a bit misleading to newcomers.
We underscore the fact that our peer needs to run a modified version of
Bitcoin Core to actually relay transactions to a `blocksonly` node and
benefit from the `whitelistforcerelay` parameter.
Use object returned from add_p2p_connection to refer to
p2ps. Add a test class attribute if it needs to be used across
many methods. Don't use the p2p property.
If we set fRelay=false in our VERSION message, and a peer sends an INV or TX
message anyway, disconnect. Since we use fRelay=false to minimize bandwidth,
we should not tolerate remaining connected to a peer violating the protocol.
