Instead of using the initial value. This removes the need for manually
passing of -mocktime when restarting nodes.
It also fixes a few flaky test cases where nodes are getting restarted.
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.

11413646b [trivial] (whitespace only) fix getblockchaininfo alignment (John Newbery)
bd9c18171 [rpc] Add initialblockdownload to getblockchaininfo (John Newbery)
Pull request description:
Exposing whether the node is in IBD would help for testing, and may be useful in general, particularly for developers.
First discussed in #10357 here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10357#pullrequestreview-59963870
> ... we could simplify this (and possibly other) tests by just adding a way to know if a node is in IBD. I'd like to do that, but I'm not sure it makes sense to complicate this PR with discussion over how that information should be made available. Eg it's not clear to me that the notion of being in IBD is worth exposing to the casual user, versus a hidden rpc call or something, since the definition has changed over time, and may continue to change in the future. But I still do agree that at least for testing purposes it would be far simpler to expose the field somehow...
This PR currently implements the simplest way of doing this: adding an `initialblockdownload` field to `getblockchaininfo`. Other approaches we could take:
1. add a new debug RPC method that exposes `IBD` and potentially other information.
2. add a parameter to `getblockchaininfo`, eg `debug_info`, which would cause it to return debug information including IBD
3. add a query string to the url `?debug=true` which would cause RPCs to return additional debug information.
I quite like the idea of (3). Feedback on these and other approaches very much welcomed!

1. calculate nblocks more adaptive.
-> set default nblocks to min (blocks for 1 month, target block's height - 1)
-> before PR: if not specify nblocks-parameter, illegal parameter error will happen when target block height is below nblocks.
2. correct error message.
-> nblocks accepts [1 .. block's height -1] . so add a word "-1".
3. add check 0-divide.
-> if nTimeDiff = 0 then use UniValue(UniValue::VNULL) and returns {... "txrate": null} .
-> before PR: if nTimeDiff = 0 then returns {... "txrate":} and bitcoin-cli cannot handle the response.

8502b20 Unify help text for GetWarnings output in get*info RPCs (Andrew Chow)
f77f0e4 Add warnings field to getblockchaininfo (Andrew Chow)
Pull request description:
The `getblockchaininfo` output does not contain the `errors` field which the `getinfo`, `getmininginfo`, and `getnetworkinfo` RPCs have. It should have it as the errors pertain to the blockchain. This PR adds that field.
This PR also unifies the help text for the `errors` field and its output position so that all of the `get*info` commands are consistent.
`getnetworkinfo`'s `errors` field is named `warnings`. I did not change this even though it is inconsistent since this naming has been in use for a long time.

faa8d9581 [qa] TestNode: Add wait_until_stopped helper method (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
This adds a helper method `wait_until_stopped` to the `TestNode` class. This should prevent numerous `time.sleep()` over all places.
Additionally, the timeout behavior is restored. (Was removed by the introduction of `TestNode`.)
This should prevent tests from running indefinitely by accident.

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__()`
