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.

Commit 9db8eecac1 improved the
assert_raises_jsonrpc() function for better testing of RPC failure
modes. This commit completes the job by removing remaining broken
try-except RPC testing from the individual test cases and replacing it
with calls to assert_raises_jsonrpc().
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.
Adds two RPC tests for the generatetoaddress RPC, one in the wallet, and one when the wallet is disabled.
The wallet RPC Test mines Bitcoin to another node's address and checks that that node has received the Bitcoin.
The RPC test without the wallet mines Bitcoin to an arbitrary address and checks that it works. It then mines to an arbitrary invalid address and checks that that fails.
