1abcecc40c Tests: Use self.chain instead of 'regtest' in almost all current tests (Jorge Timón)
Pull request description:
Simply avoiding the hardcoded string in more places for consistency.
It can also allow for more easily reusing tests for other chains other than regtest.
Separated from #8994 .
Continues #16509 .
It is still not complete (ie to be complete, we need the -chain parameter in #16680 and make whether acceptnonstdtxs is allowed for that chain or not customizable for regtest [or for custom chains like in #8994 ] ). But while being incomplete like #16509 , it's quite simple to review and another step forward IMO.
ACKs for top commit:
Sjors:
re-ACK 1abcecc. I think it's an improvement even if incomplete and if some PR's might accidentally bring "regtest" back. Subsequent improvements hopefully don't have to touch 16 files.

This adds explicit tests for the returned HTTP status codes to
interface_rpc.py (for error cases) and the HTTP JSON-RPC client in
general for success.
PR 15381 brought up discussion about the HTTP status codes in general,
and the general opinion was that the current choice may not be ideal
but should not be changed to preserve compatibility with existing
JSON-RPC clients. Thus it makes sense to actually test the current
status to ensure this desired compatibility is not broken accidentally.
This adds a new regtest file 'interface_rpc.py', containing a test for
batch JSON-RPC requests. Those were previously not tested at all. Tests
for basic requests are not really necessary, as those are used anyway
in lots of other regtests.
The existing interface_http.py file is more about the underlying HTTP
connection, so adding a new interface file for the JSON-RPC specific
things makes sense.
