Homu 2bcd96c179 Auto merge of #4074 - zancas:3802_py2_to_py3, r=<try>
WIP: Migrate tests from py2 to py3

When executed with the `zcash/qa/pull-tester/rpc-tests.sh` script the Python code in the `zcash/qa/rpc-tests` directory, and subdirectories, runs under Python 3.5.3.

I tried to _only_ make changes that were necessary for this goal, and nothing else (like causing `BitcoinTestFramework` to inherit from `unittest.TestCase`, deduplicating repeated code, replacing bespoke components with standard solutions, etc.)

I've begun collecting ideas related to such potential improvements here:

Zcash 2.1.1-1

What is Zcash?

Zcash is an implementation of the "Zerocash" protocol. Based on Bitcoin's code, Zcash intends to offer a far higher standard of privacy through a sophisticated zero-knowledge proving scheme that preserves confidentiality of transaction metadata. More technical details are available in our Protocol Specification.

This software is the Zcash client. It downloads and stores the entire history of Zcash transactions; depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process could take a day or more once the blockchain has reached a significant size.

🔒 Security Warnings

See important security warnings on the Security Information page.

Zcash is experimental and a work in progress. Use it at your own risk.

📒 Deprecation Policy

This release is considered deprecated 16 weeks after the release day. There is an automatic deprecation shutdown feature which will halt the node some time after this 16-week period. The automatic feature is based on block height.
