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.

TestNode is a class responsible for all state related to a bitcoind node
under test. It stores local state, is responsible for tracking the
bitcoind process and delegates unrecognised messages to the RPC
connection.
This commit changes start_nodes and stop_nodes to start and stop the
bitcoind nodes in parallel, making test setup and teardown much faster.

This commit moves functions start_node, start_nodes, stop_node and
stop_nodes functions into the BitcoinTestFramework class. It also moves
the bitcoind_processes dict and coverage variables into BitcoinTestFramework.
This commit marks the start/stop functions in util.py as private module
functions. A future PR will remove these entirely and move the
functionality directly into the BitcoinTestFramework class, but setting them as
private in this PR will prevent anyone from accidentally calling them
before that future PR is merged.

Currently, functional test cases can either pass or fail. There are
occasions when it is helpful to skip tests, for example if the
system they are running on does not meet the requirements for the test.
The rest of the test suite can run without being marked as a failure.
This commit adds framework for tests to skip if their requirements
aren't met.
