In rpc-tests.py, don't override BITCOIND and BITCOINCLI if they're
already set. Makes it possible to run the tests with either another tree
or the GUI.
Remove necessity to call create_callback_map (as well as the function
itself) from the Python P2P test framework. Invoke the appropriate
methods directly.
- Easy to forget to call it and wonder why it doesn't work
- Simplifies the code
- This makes it easier to handle new messages in subclasses
Redo the feerate index to be based on mining score, rather than fee.
Update mempool_packages.py to test prioritisetransaction's effect on
package scores.
Make RPC tests have a default block priority size of 50000 (the old default) so we can still use free transactions in RPC tests. When priority is eliminated, we will have to make a different change if we want to continue allowing free txs.
This replaces using inv messages to announce new blocks, when a peer requests
(via the new "sendheaders" message) that blocks be announced with headers
instead of inv's.
Since headers-first was introduced, peers send getheaders messages in response
to an inv, which requires generating a block locator that is large compared to
the size of the header being requested, and requires an extra round-trip before
a reorg can be relayed. Save time by tracking headers that a peer is likely to
know about, and send a headers chain that would connect to a peer's known
headers, unless the chain would be too big, in which case we revert to sending
an inv instead.
Based off of @sipa's commit to announce all blocks in a reorg via inv,
which has been squashed into this commit.

Previously all conflicting transactions were evaluated as a whole to
determine if the feerate was being increased. This meant that low
feerate children pulled the feerate down, potentially allowing a high
transaction with a high feerate to be replaced by one with a lower
feerate.
Reduce the default limits on maximum number of transactions and the cumulative size of those transactions in both ancestor and descendant packages to 25 txs and 101kb total size.
