Adds an error output parameter to all GetReservedDestination functions
so that callers can get the actual reason that a change address could
not be fetched. This more closely matches GetNewDestination. This allows
for more granular error messages, such as one that indicates that
bech32m addresses cannot be generated yet.
Adds a --descriptors option globally to the test framework. This will
make the test create and use descriptor wallets. However some tests may
not work with this.
Some tests are modified to work with --descriptors and run with that
option in test_runer:
* wallet_basic.py
* wallet_encryption.py
* wallet_keypool.py
* wallet_keypool_topup.py
* wallet_labels.py
* wallet_avoidreuse.py
In advance of deprecating the generate RPC method, make some small
changes to a small number of inidividual test cases:
- make memory checking less prescriptive in wallet_basic.py
- replace calls to generate with generatetoaddress in wallet_keypool.py
- replace calls to generate with generatetoaddress and fixup label
issues in wallet_labels.py
- replace calls to generate with generatetoaddress in wallet_multiwallet.py

Pull request description:
This is the replacement for #11678 which implements @ryanofsky's [suggestion](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11678#pullrequestreview-76464511).
Shutting down the software was to prevent the BDB environment from writing unencrypted private keys to disk in the database log files, as was noted [here](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=51474.msg616068#msg616068). This PR replaces the shutdown behavior with a CDBEnv flush, close, and reopen which achieves the same effect: everything is cleanly flushed and closed, the log files are removed, and then the environment reopened to continue normal operation.
To ensure that no unencrypted private keys are in the log files after encrypting the wallet, I wrote [this script](https://gist.github.com/achow101/7f7143e6c3d3fdc034d3470e72823e9d) to pull private keys from the original wallet file and searches for these keys in the log files (note that you will have to change your file paths to make it work on your own machine).
As for concerns about private keys being written to slack space or being kept in memory, these behaviors no longer exist after the original wallet encryption PR and the shutting down solution from 2011.

Change all instances of validateaddress to getaddressinfo since it seems that
no test actually uses validateaddress for actually validating addresses.
