assumevalid.py would try to send over a closed P2P connection in a loop,
hitting the following failure many times:
TestFramework.mininode (ERROR): Cannot send message. No connection to node!
The test still passes, but this is a lot of noise in the test log.
Just check that the connection is open before trying to send.

Almost all test scripts currently need to override the __init__()
method. When they do that they need to call into super().__init__() as
the base class does some generic initialization.
This commit makes the base class __init__() call into set_test_params()
method. Individual test cases can override set_test_params() to setup
their test parameters.

Separates the act of creating a TestNode object from starting the node.
The test_framework now keeps track of its list of TestNodes, and test
writers can call start_node() and stop_node() without having to update
the self.nodes list.

sync_with_ping currently returns false if the timeout expires, and it is
the caller's responsibility to fail the test. However, none of the tests
currently assert on sync_with_ping()'s return code. This commit adds an
assert to sync_with_ping so the test will fail if the timeout expires.
This commit also removes all the duplicate implementations of
sync_with_ping() from the individual tests.
This commit merges the NodeConnCB and SingleNodeConnCB into a single
class (called NodeConnCB). The original intent for the NodeConnCB was to
be able to have a python 'mininode' connect to multiple running
bitcoinds. This has never been used and can be achieved more easily by
having multiple NodeConns backed by a common datastore if it is ever
needed.
The changes in mininode.py are just code moves (and merging the two
classes into a single class). The code changes in the individual test
cases are changing the subclasses to subclass from NodeConnCB instead of
SingleNodeConnCB. There is a lot of duplicate code in the subclasses
that can be removed in future commits.
assumevalid was merged as part of PR 9484, but was not added to the
test_runner, so is not run even as part of the extended tests.
This commit adds assumevalid to the list of tests in test_runner. It
also clarifies the code in assumevalid considerably.
