Pull request description:
This PR introduces mempool tracking of unbroadcast transactions and periodic reattempts at initial broadcast. This is a part of the rebroadcast project, and a standalone privacy win.
The current rebroadcast logic is terrible for privacy because 1. only the source wallet rebroadcasts transactions and 2. it does so quite frequently. In the current system, if a user submits a transaction that does not immediately get broadcast to the network (eg. they are offline), this "rebroadcast" behavior is the safety net that can actually serve as the initial broadcast. So, keeping the attempts frequent is important for initial delivery within a reasonable timespan.
This PR aims to improve # 2 by reducing the wallet rebroadcast frequency to ~1/day from ~1/15 min. It achieves this by separating the notion of initial broadcast from rebroadcasts. With these changes, the mempool tracks locally submitted transactions & periodically reattempts initial broadcast. Transactions submitted via the wallet or RPC are added to an "unbroadcast" set & are removed when a peer sends a `getdata` request, or the transaction is removed from the mempool. Every 10-15 minutes, the node reattempts an initial broadcast. This enables reducing the wallet rebroadcast frequency while ensuring the transactions will be propagated to the network.
For privacy improvements around # 1, please see #16698.
Thank you to gmaxwell for the idea of how to break out this subset of functionality (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/16698#issuecomment-571399346)

Since the mempool unbroadcast mechanism handles the reattempts for initial
broadcast, the wallet rebroadcast attempts can be much less frequent

Pull request description:
This adds methods to the test framework that can be called by just `self.sync_*()`.
This avoids having to import the underlying util method. Also, in the default case, where all nodes are synced this avoid having to pass `self.nodes` explicitly.
So the effective changes are:
```diff
@@
-from test_framework.util import sync_blocks, sync_mempools
@@
- sync_blocks(self.nodes)
+ self.sync_blocks()

- sync_mempools(self.nodes)

Removes the now-unused Broadcast/ResendWalletTransactions interface from
validationinterface.
The wallet_resendwallettransactions.py needs a sleep added at the start
to make sure that the rebroadcast scheduler is warmed up before the next
block is mined.
The existing wallet_resendwallettransactions.py test only tests the
resendwallettransactions RPC. It does not test whether transactions are
actually rebroadcast, or whether the rebroadcast logic is called on a
timer.
This commit updates the test to not use the resendwallettransactions RPC and
test that transactions are rebroadcast on a timer.
