d6d2602a32251c1017da88b47c801b7283c66ce3 add: test that transactions expire from mempool (0xb10c)
Pull request description:
This adds the functional test `mempool_expiry.py` covering mempool transaction expiry. Both the default `DEFAULT_MEMPOOL_EXPIRY` of 336 hours (two weeks, set in #9312) and the user definable mempool expiry via the `-mempoolexpiry=<n>` command line option are tested. The test checks that descendants of expired transactions are removed as well.
*Notes for reviewers*
- `LimitMempoolSize()` (which is the only caller of `CTxMemPool::Expire()`) is only called when a transaction is added to the mempool. In order to test expiry of a transaction-that-should-expire, the mocktime is set and a random transaction is broadcast to trigger `LimitMempoolSize()`. The transaction-that-should-expire is then checked for expiry. LMK if there is another way, but I don't think there is.
