Make sure that RPC tests are actually checking failures correctly by:
- Catching JSON RPC exceptions and verifying the error codes and messages.
- Failing the test case if the JSON RPC exception isn't raised.
037159c Remove block-request logic from INV message processing (Matt Corallo)
3451203 [qa] Respond to getheaders and do not assume a getdata on inv (Matt Corallo)
d768f15 [qa] Make comptool push blocks instead of relying on inv-fetch (mrbandrews)
Motivation for this change is mainly to make sync_blocks behavior easier to
understand. Behavior is unchanged in the normal case when there are only 2
nodes in the rpc_connections set. When there are more than 2 nodes, the
previous "timeout -= wait" statement wouldn't take into account time spent
waiting for all nodes and as a result could lead to blocking for longer than
the requested timeout.
Instead of syncing to max height returned by the waitforblockheight RPC, sync
to the max height returned by the getblockcount RPC.
This change was suggested by Suhas Daftuar <sdaftuar@chaincode.com>.
Increase wallet-dump RPC timeout from 30 seconds to 1 minute. This avoids a
timeout error that seemed to happen regularly (around 50% of builds) on a
particular jenkins server during the first getnewaddress RPC call made by the
test.
The failing stack trace looked like:
Unexpected exception caught during testing: timeout('timed out',)

Three categories of modifications:
1)
1 instance of 'The Bitcoin Core developers \n',
1 instance of 'the Bitcoin Core developers\n',
3 instances of 'Bitcoin Core Developers\n', and
12 instances of 'The Bitcoin developers\n'
are made uniform with the 443 instances of 'The Bitcoin Core developers\n'
2)
3 instances of 'BitPay, Inc\.\n' are made uniform with the other 6
instances of 'BitPay Inc\.\n'
3)
4 instances where there was no '(c)' between the 'Copyright' and the year
where it deviates from the style of the local directory.
These are text files but their encoding does not depend on the locale.
Not all of them require utf8 but it is better to fix it at something
to remove potential unpredictability.
This is necessary on FreeBSD where no locale is set by default,
and apparently Python defaults not only the terminal encoding to the locale
but that of every text file. So without LOCALE environment it defaults text
file encoding to ASCII. This causes problems with e.g. `bitcoin.conf`.
Luckily the locale doesn't affect the default encoding for str.encode() and
bytes.decode() on Python 3, so this is the only change necessary.
This improves error reporting if `JSONRPCException` is not specifically caught
and ends up in Python's default backtrace handler.
Before:
```
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/.../projects/bitcoin/bitcoin/qa/rpc-tests/test_framework/authproxy.py", line 153, in __call__
raise JSONRPCException(response['error'])
test_framework.authproxy.JSONRPCException
```
After:
```
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/.../projects/bitcoin/bitcoin/qa/rpc-tests/test_framework/authproxy.py", line 152, in __call__
raise JSONRPCException(response['error'])
test_framework.authproxy.JSONRPCException: Unknown named parameter random (-8)
```
waitfornewblock waits until a new block is received, or the timeout expires, then
returns the current block height/hash.
waitforblock waits for a specific blockhash, or until the timeout expires, then
returns the current block height/hash. If the target blockhash is the current
tip, it will return immediately.
waitforblockheight waits until the tip has reached a certain height or higher,
then returns the current height and hash.
waitforblockheight is used to avoid polling in the rpc tests.
