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.

This commit fixes the module-level docstrings for the tests and helper
modules in qa. Many of these tests were uncommented previously - this
commit ensures that every test case has at least a minimum level of
commenting.
In txn_clone.py, non-essential test transaction tx2 was asserted
to be unconfirmed, but would occasionally confirm depending on
network behavior. Fix by explicitly sharing with miner and
checking for 1 confirmation.
Reduce required conflict tests from 4 to 2, by moving one invocation
each of txn_clone.py and txn_doublespend.py to the extented test
section. This saves about 15 seconds per test run for me.
Does what the old txnmall.sh test did.
Creates an equivalent malleated clone and tests that SyncMetaData
syncs the accounting effects from the original transaction to the
confirmed clone.
