Suhas Daftuar 176c021d08 [qa] Test non-atomic chainstate writes
Adds new functional test, dbcrash.py, which uses -dbcrashratio to exercise the
logic for recovering from a crash during chainstate flush.

dbcrash.py is added to the extended tests, as it may take ~10 minutes to run

Use _Exit() instead of exit() for crash simulation

This eliminates stderr output such as:
    terminate called without an active exception
or
    Assertion failed: (!pthread_mutex_destroy(&m)), function ~recursive_mutex, file /usr/local/include/boost/thread/pthread/recursive_mutex.hpp, line 104.

Eliminating the stderr output on crash simulation allows testing with
test_runner.py, which reports a test as failed if stderr is produced.

Test structure:
- 4 nodes
* node0, node1, and node2 will have different dbcrash ratios, and different
dbcache sizes
* node3 will be a regular node, with no crashing.
* The nodes will not connect to each other.
- use default test framework starting chain. initialize starting_tip_height to
tip height.
- Main loop:
* generate lots of transactions on node3, enough to fill up a block.
* uniformly randomly pick a tip height from starting_tip_height to
tip_height; with probability 1/(height_difference+4), invalidate this block.
* mine enough blocks to overtake tip_height at start of loop.
* for each node in [node0,node1,node2]:
- for each mined block:
* submit block to node
* if node crashed on/after submitting:
- restart until recovery succeeds
- check that utxo matches node3 using gettxoutsetinfo
