Instead of syncing to max height returned by the waitforblockheight RPC, sync
to the max height returned by the getblockcount RPC.
This change was suggested by Suhas Daftuar <sdaftuar@chaincode.com>.
Motivation for this change is mainly to make sync_blocks behavior easier to
understand. Behavior is unchanged in the normal case when there are only 2
nodes in the rpc_connections set. When there are more than 2 nodes, the
previous "timeout -= wait" statement wouldn't take into account time spent
waiting for all nodes and as a result could lead to blocking for longer than
the requested timeout.

The current getblocktxn implementation drops and ignores requests for old
blocks, which causes occasional sync_block timeouts during the
p2p-compactblocks.py test as reported in
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/8842.
The p2p-compactblocks.py test setup creates many new blocks in a short
period of time, which can lead to getblocktxn requests for blocks below the
hardcoded depth limit of 10 blocks. This commit changes the getblocktxn
handler not to ignore these requests, so the peer nodes in the test setup
will reliably be able to sync.
The protocol change is documented in BIP-152 update "Allow block responses
to getblocktxn requests" at https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/pull/469.
The protocol change is not expected to affect nodes running outside the test
environment, because there shouldn't normally be lots of new blocks being
rapidly added that need to be synced.
Increase wallet-dump RPC timeout from 30 seconds to 1 minute. This avoids a
timeout error that seemed to happen regularly (around 50% of builds) on a
particular jenkins server during the first getnewaddress RPC call made by the
test.
The failing stack trace looked like:
Unexpected exception caught during testing: timeout('timed out',)

Clear test_node.last_block before requesting blocks in the
compactblocks_not_at_tip test so comparisons won't fail if a blocks were received
before the test started.
The bug doesn't currently cause any problems due to the order tests run, but
this will change in the next commit.
Bug caused the wait_for_block_announcement to be called on the wrong node,
leading to nondeterminism and occasional test failures. Bug was introduced in
merge commit:
d075479 Merge #8882: [qa] Fix race conditions in p2p-compactblocks.py and sendheaders.py
Underlying commits which conflicted were:
27acfc1 [qa] Update p2p-compactblocks.py for compactblocks v2
6976db2 [qa] Another attempt to fix race condition in p2p-compactblocks.py
The first commit changed the test_compactblock_construction function signature
and second commit added code which wasn't updated during the merge to use the
new arguments.

sync_with_ping() only guarantees that the node has processed messages
it's received from the peer, not that block announcements from the node have
made it back to the peer. Replace sync_with_ping() with an explicit check that
the node's tip has been announced.
