Test prioritisetransaction
After talking with @str4d about #1884 , I wrote a test for prioritisetransaction. It uses small blocks (11kb), and checks whether a transaction makes it into the next block after being prioritized by that node.
Should this be improved with a larger number of txs in the mempool, or by testing over multiple runs?
As for getblocktemplate(), it seems to return the prioritized transaction within the block size set by the node (about 50 txs fit in an 11kb block), but the block "sizelimit" it displays is set at 2 MB in `rpcmining.cpp` line 690:
```
result.push_back(Pair("sizelimit", (int64_t)MAX_BLOCK_SIZE));
```
This was quite confusing, I didn't think the `-blockmaxsize` parameter I was setting was working for awhile.
Return a more informative error message when trying to spend coinbase; select non-coinbase inputs when sending to a transparent output if needed
For #1373 and #1519
Code change:
- Extra parameter added to AvailableCoins to include or exclude Coinbase coins. Default value of parameter is 'true' as current behaviour is to include Coinbase coins.
- SelectCoins, used for sending taddr->taddr, will now exclude Coinbase coins.
Unit test:
Tried to write a test to focus on the extra parameter added to AvailableCoins but could not.
Empirical testing on Testnet:
Current behaviour is that upstream RPC commands sendfrom and sendtoaddress try to spend coinbase coins returned by AvailableCoins. So the user will see:
```
./zcash-cli sendtoaddress mrEGRmGJhmwAa4MQjzGd86ry63vrvovu9b 1000.0
error: {"code":-6,"message":"Insufficient funds"}
./zcash-cli sendtoaddress mrEGRmGJhmwAa4MQjzGd86ry63vrvovu9b 0.00003000
error: {"code":-4,"message":"Error: The transaction was rejected! This might happen if some of the coins in your wallet were already spent, such as if you used a copy of wallet.dat and coins were spent in the copy but not marked as spent here."}
./zcash-cli sendfrom "" mrEGRmGJhmwAa4MQjzGd86ry63vrvovu9b 0.00003000
error: {"code":-4,"message":"Error: The transaction was rejected! This might happen if some of the coins in your wallet were already spent, such as if you used a copy of wallet.dat and coins were spent in the copy but not marked as spent here."}
```
After fix is applied:
```
./zcash-cli sendtoaddress mrEGRmGJhmwAa4MQjzGd86ry63vrvovu9b 1000.0
error: {"code":-6,"message":"Insufficient funds"}
./zcash-cli sendtoaddress mrEGRmGJhmwAa4MQjzGd86ry63vrvovu9b 0.00003000
error: {"code":-4,"message":"Coinbase funds can only be sent to a zaddr"}
```
When non-coinbase UTXOs exist, they will now be selected and used:
```
./zcash-cli z_sendmany tnPJZHeVxegCg91utaquBRPEDBGjozfz9iLDHt7zvphFbZdspNgkTVLCGjDcadQBKNyUwKs8pNjDXuEZKrE1aNLpFwHgz4t '[{"address":"mx5fTRhLZwbYE7ZqhAPueZgQGSnwTbdvKU", "amount":0.01}]'
./zcash-cli sendtoaddress mrEGRmGJhmwAa4MQjzGd86ry63vrvovu9b 1000.0
error: {"code":-6,"message":"Insufficient funds"}
./zcash-cli sendtoaddress mrEGRmGJhmwAa4MQjzGd86ry63vrvovu9b 0.00003000

```
Extra parameter added to AvailableCoins to include or exclude Coinbase coins.
SelectCoins, used for sending taddr->taddr, will exclude Coinbase coins.
Added qa rpc test and a runtime parameter -regtestprotectcoinbase to enforce
the coinbase->zaddr consensus rule in regtest mode.
Tests error reporting of transaction signing via RPC call "signrawtransaction".
Expected results:
Test 1: create and sign a valid raw transaction with one input:
- 1) The transaction has a complete set of signatures
- 2) No script verification error occurred
Test 2: create and sign a raw transaction with one valid, one invalid and one missing input script:
- 3) The transaction has no complete set of signatures
- 4) Two script verification errors occurred
- 5) Script verification errors have certain properties ("txid", "vout", "scriptSig", "sequence", "error")
- 6) The verification errors refer to the invalid (vin 1) and missing input (vin 2)

comptool.py creates a tool for running a test suite on top of the mininode p2p
framework. It supports two types of tests: those for which we expect certain
behavior (acceptance or rejection of a block or transaction) and those for
which we are just comparing that the behavior of 2 or more nodes is the same.
blockstore.py defines BlockStore and TxStore, which provide db-backed maps
between block/tx hashes and the corresponding block or tx.
blocktools.py defines utility functions for creating and manipulating blocks
and transactions.
invalidblockrequest.py is an example test in the comptool framework, which
tests the behavior of a single node when sent two different types of invalid
blocks (a block with a duplicated transaction and a block with a bad coinbase
value).
mininode.py provides a framework for connecting to a bitcoin node over the p2p
network. NodeConn is the main object that manages connectivity to a node and
provides callbacks; the interface for those callbacks is defined by NodeConnCB.
Defined also are all data structures from bitcoin core that pass on the network
(CBlock, CTransaction, etc), along with de-/serialization functions.
maxblocksinflight.py is an example test using this framework that tests whether
a node is limiting the maximum number of in-flight block requests.
This also adds support to util.py for specifying the binary to use when
starting nodes (for tests that compare the behavior of different bitcoind
versions), and adds maxblocksinflight.py to the pull tester.
Immature coinbase spends are allowed in the memory pool if they can be mined in the next block.
They are not allowed in the memory pool if they cannot be mined in the next block.
This regression test tests those edge cases.
Ported txnmall.sh to Python, and updated to match
recent transaction malleability changes.
I also modified it so it tests both double-spending
confirmed and unconfirmed (only-in-mempool) transactions.
Renamed to txn_doublespend, since that is really what is
being tested. And told the pull-tester to run both
variations on this test.
