86edf4a2a502416ba8d6cebbce61030992f7ff6f expose CBlockIndex::nTx in getblock(header) (Gregory Sanders)
Pull request description:
Recent publication of a weakness in Bitcoin's merkle tree construction demonstrates many SPV applications vulnerable to an expensive to pull off yet still plausible attack: https://bitslog.wordpress.com/2018/06/09/leaf-node-weakness-in-bitcoin-merkle-tree-design/
Including the coinbase in the txoutproof seems the most effective fix, however results in a significant efficiency downgrade. Transactors will not even know a priori what the size of their proof will be within a couple orders of magnitude, unless they use the mid-state of SHA2 as detailed in the blog post.
Some applications, like Elements blockchain platform that take SPV-style proofs have optional access to a bitcoind to verify these proofs of inclusion and check depth in the chain. Returning `CBlockIndex::nTx` would allow an extremely easy and compact way of checking the depth of the tree, with no additional overhead to the codebase, and works with pruned nodes.
`getblockheader` is arguably not the place for it, but as mentioned before, is a natural workflow for us checking depth of a block in a possibly pruned node.
We should also ensure that `verifytxoutproof` ends up validating this depth fact as well, but left this for another PR.

Pull request description:
This is prompted by and builds on #12545, a nice cleanup / consolidation of patterns.
In cases where the exception message was meaningful, I tried to represent it as well in a comment.
I expect #12545 will go in first, but I'm happy to squash them if that's preferred.

be2a2ab6a [tests] fix - use rpc_timeout as rpc timeout (John Newbery)
Pull request description:
Some additional tidyups after the introduction of TestNode:
- commit 1 makes TestNode use the correct rpc timeout. This should have been included in #11077
- commit 2 separates `add_node()` from `start_node()` as originally discussed here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10556#discussion_r121161453 with @kallewoof . The test writer no longer needs to assign to `self.nodes` when starting/stopping nodes.
- commit 3 adds a `set_test_params()` method, so individual tests don't need to override `__init__()` and call `super().__init__()`
