25dd86715039586d92176eee16e9c6644d2547f0 Avoid using mutable default parameter values (practicalswift)

Pull request description:

  Avoid common Python default parameter gotcha when mutable `dict`/`list`:s are used as default parameter values.

  Examples of this gotcha caught during review:
  * https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/16673#discussion_r317415261
  * https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/14565#discussion_r241942304

  Perhaps surprisingly this is how mutable list and dictionary default parameter values behave in Python:

  ```
  >>> def f(i, j=[], k={}):
  ...     j.append(i)
  ...     k[i] = True
  ...     return j, k
  ...
  >>> f(1)
  ([1], {1: True})
  >>> f(1)
  ([1, 1], {1: True})
  >>> f(2)
  ([1, 1, 2], {1: True, 2: True})
  ```

  In contrast to:

  ```
  >>> def f(i, j=None, k=None):
  ...     if j is None:
  ...         j = []
  ...     if k is None:
  ...         k = {}
  ...     j.append(i)
  ...     k[i] = True
  ...     return j, k
  ...
  >>> f(1)
  ([1], {1: True})
  >>> f(1)
  ([1], {1: True})
  >>> f(2)
  ([2], {2: True})
  ```

  The latter is typically the intended behaviour.

  This PR fixes two instances of this and adds a check guarding against this gotcha going forward :-)
