c82190cdb6 tests: Add Python dead code linter (vulture) (practicalswift)
590a57fdec tests: Remove unused testing code (practicalswift)
Pull request description:
Add Python dead code linter (`vulture`) to Travis.
Rationale for allowing dead code only after explicit opt-in (via `--ignore-names`):
* Less is more :-)
* Unused code is by definition "untested"
* Unused code can be an indication of bugs/logical errors. By making the contributor aware of newly introduced unused code it gives him/her an opportunity to investigate if the unused code they introduce is malignant or benign :-)
* Unused code is hard to spot for humans and is thus often missed during manual review
* [YAGNI](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_aren%27t_gonna_need_it)
Based on #14312 to make linter job pass.

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.
