68f546635d5de2ccfedadeabc7bc79e12e5eca6a test: Fix “local variable 'e' is assigned to but never used” (Ben Woosley)
Pull request description:
This is required for various work in progress:
* testchains #8994
* signet #16411
* some of my locally written tests
While it will be unused in the master branch as of now, it will make all of those pull requests shorter. Thus review for non-regtest tests can focus on the actual changes and not some test framework changes.

a192636 -blocksdir: keep blockindex leveldb database in datadir (Jonas Schnelli)
f38e4fd QA: Add -blocksdir test (Jonas Schnelli)
386a6b6 Allow to optional specify the directory for the blocks storage (Jonas Schnelli)
Pull request description:
Since the actual block files taking up more and more space, it may be desirable to have them stored in a different location then the data directory (use case: SSD for chainstate, etc., HD for blocks).
This PR adds a `-blocksdir` option that allows one to keep the blockfiles and the blockindex external from the data directory (instead of creating symlinks).
I fist had an option to keep the blockindex within the datadir, but seems to make no sense since accessing the index will (always) lead to access (r/w) the block files.
