1abcecc40c Tests: Use self.chain instead of 'regtest' in almost all current tests (Jorge Timón)
Pull request description:
Simply avoiding the hardcoded string in more places for consistency.
It can also allow for more easily reusing tests for other chains other than regtest.
Separated from #8994 .
Continues #16509 .
It is still not complete (ie to be complete, we need the -chain parameter in #16680 and make whether acceptnonstdtxs is allowed for that chain or not customizable for regtest [or for custom chains like in #8994 ] ). But while being incomplete like #16509 , it's quite simple to review and another step forward IMO.
ACKs for top commit:
Sjors:
re-ACK 1abcecc. I think it's an improvement even if incomplete and if some PR's might accidentally bring "regtest" back. Subsequent improvements hopefully don't have to touch 16 files.

And use it to fix a race condition in mempool_persist.py:

Since e.g. getrawmempool returns errors based on this status, this
enables users to test it for readiness.
c8330d4 qa: Use node.datadir instead of tmpdir in test framework (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Commit c53c9831ee introduced the utility function `get_datadir_path`, however not all places in the code use this util function. Using the util function everywhere makes it easier to review pull requests related to the datadir.
This commit replaces datadir path creation with the `datadir` member of `TestNode`, which itself uses `get_datadir_path`.

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.
