5db506ba5943868cc2c845f717508739b7f05714 tests: Add option --valgrind to run nodes under valgrind in the functional tests (practicalswift)
Pull request description:
What is better than fixing bugs? Fixing entire bug classes of course! :)
Add option `--valgrind` to run the functional tests under Valgrind.
Regular functional testing under Valgrind would have caught many of the uninitialized reads we've seen historically.
Let's kill this bug class once and for all: let's never use an uninitialized value ever again. Or at least not one that would be triggered by running the functional tests! :)
My hope is that this addition will make it super-easy to run the functional tests under Valgrind and thus increase the probability of people making use of it :)
Hopefully `test/functional/test_runner.py --valgrind` will become a natural part of the pre-release QA process.
**Usage:**
```
$ test/functional/test_runner.py --help
…
--valgrind run nodes under the valgrind memory error detector:
expect at least a ~10x slowdown, valgrind 3.14 or
later required
```
**Live demo:**
First, let's re-introduce a memory bug by reverting the recent P2P uninitialized read bug fix from PR #17624 ("net: Fix an uninitialized read in ProcessMessage(…, "tx", …) when receiving a transaction we already have").
```

```
Second, let's test as normal without Valgrind:
```
$ test/functional/p2p_segwit.py -l INFO
2019-11-28T09:30:42.810000Z TestFramework (INFO): Initializing test directory /tmp/bitcoin_func_test__fc8q3qo

…
2019-11-28T09:32:08.265000Z TestFramework (INFO): Tests successful
```
Third, let's test with `--valgrind` and see if the test fail (as we expect) when the unitialized value is used:
```
$ test/functional/p2p_segwit.py -l INFO --valgrind
2019-11-28T09:32:33.018000Z TestFramework (INFO): Initializing test directory /tmp/bitcoin_func_test_gtjecx2l
