c8330d4 qa: Use node.datadir instead of tmpdir in test framework (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Commit c53c9831ee introduced the utility function `get_datadir_path`, however not all places in the code use this util function. Using the util function everywhere makes it easier to review pull requests related to the datadir.
This commit replaces datadir path creation with the `datadir` member of `TestNode`, which itself uses `get_datadir_path`.

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.
