Changes addrman to use the test-before-evict discipline in which an
address is to be evicted from the tried table is first tested and if
it is still online it is not evicted.
Adds tests to provide test coverage for this change.

90d4d89 scripted-diff: Use the C++11 keyword nullptr to denote the pointer literal instead of the macro NULL (practicalswift)
Pull request description:
Since C++11 the macro `NULL` may be:
* an integer literal with value zero, or
* a prvalue of type `std::nullptr_t`
By using the C++11 keyword `nullptr` we are guaranteed a prvalue of type `std::nullptr_t`.
For a more thorough discussion, see "A name for the null pointer: nullptr" (Sutter &
Stroustrup), http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2007/n2431.pdf
With this patch applied there are no `NULL` macro usages left in the repo:
```
$ git grep NULL -- "*.cpp" "*.h" | egrep -v '(/univalue/|/secp256k1/|/leveldb/|_NULL|NULLDUMMY|torcontrol.*NULL|NULL cert)' | wc -l
0
```
The road towards `nullptr` (C++11) is split into two PRs:
* `NULL` → `nullptr` is handled in PR #10483 (scripted, this PR)
* `0` → `nullptr` is handled in PR #10645 (manual)

There are only a few uses of `insecure_random` outside the tests.
This PR replaces uses of insecure_random (and its accompanying global
state) in the core code with an FastRandomContext that is automatically
seeded on creation.
This is meant to be used for inner loops. The FastRandomContext
can be in the outer scope, or the class itself, then rand32() is used
inside the loop. Useful e.g. for pushing addresses in CNode or the fee
rounding, or randomization for coin selection.
As a context is created per purpose, thus it gets rid of
cross-thread unprotected shared usage of a single set of globals, this
should also get rid of the potential race conditions.
- I'd say TxMempool::check is not called enough to warrant using a special
fast random context, this is switched to GetRand() (open for
discussion...)
- The use of `insecure_rand` in ConnectThroughProxy has been replaced by
an atomic integer counter. The only goal here is to have a different
credentials pair for each connection to go on a different Tor circuit,
it does not need to be random nor unpredictable.
- To avoid having a FastRandomContext on every CNode, the context is
passed into PushAddress as appropriate.
There remains an insecure_random for test usage in `test_random.h`.
Adds several unittests for CAddrMan and CAddrInfo.
Increases the accuracy of addrman tests.
Removes non-determinism in tests by overriding the random number generator.
Extracts testing code from addrman class to test class.
