Also warn if bitcoind is configured to use a relative -datadir path.
Specifying paths relative to the current working directory in a daemon process
can be dangerous, because files can fail to be located even if the
configuration doesn't change, but the daemon is started up differently.
Specifying a relative -datadir now adds a warning to the debug log. It would
not be backwards-compatible to forbid relative -datadir paths entirely, and it
could also be also inconvenient for command line testing.
Specifying a relative -walletdir now results in a startup error. But since the
-walletdir option is new in 0.16.0, there should be no compatibility issues.
Another reason not to use working directory paths for -walletdir specifically
is that the default -walletdir is a "wallets" subdirectory inside the datadir,
so it could be surprising that setting -walletdir manually would choose a
directory rooted in a completely different location.
test_framework accepts a new --usecli parameter. Running the test with
this parameter will cause all RPCs to be sent through bitcoin-cli rather
than directly over http. By default, individual test cases do not
support --usecli, and self.supports_cli must be set to True in the
set_test_params method.
We can make supports_cli default to True in future once we know which
tests will fail with use_cli.

Pull request description:
This should fix issues with the multiwallet test and its symlinks
when the tmpdir is a relative path.
Rather than fixing os.symlink to work with paths relative to a
directory descriptor, which does not work on Windows, normalize
the path instead.

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.
TestNode is a class responsible for all state related to a bitcoind node
under test. It stores local state, is responsible for tracking the
bitcoind process and delegates unrecognised messages to the RPC
connection.
This commit changes start_nodes and stop_nodes to start and stop the
bitcoind nodes in parallel, making test setup and teardown much faster.
This commit moves functions start_node, start_nodes, stop_node and
stop_nodes functions into the BitcoinTestFramework class. It also moves
the bitcoind_processes dict and coverage variables into BitcoinTestFramework.
This commit marks the start/stop functions in util.py as private module
functions. A future PR will remove these entirely and move the
functionality directly into the BitcoinTestFramework class, but setting them as
private in this PR will prevent anyone from accidentally calling them
before that future PR is merged.

Currently, functional test cases can either pass or fail. There are
occasions when it is helpful to skip tests, for example if the
system they are running on does not meet the requirements for the test.
The rest of the test suite can run without being marked as a failure.
This commit adds framework for tests to skip if their requirements
aren't met.
