be2a2ab6a [tests] fix - use rpc_timeout as rpc timeout (John Newbery)
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__()`

Almost all test scripts currently need to override the __init__()
method. When they do that they need to call into super().__init__() as
the base class does some generic initialization.
This commit makes the base class __init__() call into set_test_params()
method. Individual test cases can override set_test_params() to setup
their test parameters.
Separates the act of creating a TestNode object from starting the node.
The test_framework now keeps track of its list of TestNodes, and test
writers can call start_node() and stop_node() without having to update
the self.nodes list.
