In functional tests it is a quite common scenario to generate fresh
elliptic curve keypairs, which is currently a bit cumbersome as it
involves multiple steps, e.g.:
privkey = ECKey()
privkey.generate()
privkey_wif = bytes_to_wif(privkey.get_bytes())
pubkey = privkey.get_pubkey().get_bytes()
Simplify this by providing a new `generate_keypair` helper function that
returns the private key either as `ECKey` object or as WIF-string
(depending on the boolean `wif` parameter) and the public key as
byte-string; these formats are what we mostly need (currently we don't
use `ECPubKey` objects from generated keypairs anywhere).
With this, most of the affected code blocks following the pattern above
can be replaced by one-liners, e.g.:
privkey, pubkey = generate_keypair(wif=True)
Note that after this commit, the only direct uses of `ECKey` remain in
situations where we want to set the private key explicitly, e.g. in
MiniWallet (test/functional/test_framework/wallet.py) or the test for
the signet miner script (test/functional/tool_signet_miner.py).
To avoid `bad-txns-premature-spend-of-coinbase` error,
when getting a utxo (using `get_utxo`) to create a new
transaction `get_utxo` shouldn't return by default
immature coinbase.
This commit updates the code by replacing the RPC call used to
decode an address and retrieve its corresponding scriptpubkey
with the address_to_scriptpubkey function. address_to_scriptpubkey
function can now decode all addresses formats, which makes
it more efficient to use.
The COINBASE_MATURITY constant in blocktools.py is imported in wallet.py.
However, importing address_to_scriptpubkey to blocktools.py will
generate a circular import error. Since the method is related to
addresses, it is best to move it to address.py, which will also
fix the circular import error.
Update imports of address_to_scriptpubkey accordingly.
feature_fee_estimation has a lot of loops that hit the RPC many times in
succession in order to setup scenarios. Using batched requests for these
can reduce the test's runtime without effecting the test's behavior.
0b78110f73 test: Move tx creation to create_self_transfer_multi (kouloumos)
Pull request description:
Two birds with one stone: replacement of https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/26278 with simplification of the MiniWallet's transaction creation logic.
Currently the MiniWallet creates simple txns (1 input, 1 output) with `create_self_transfer`. https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/24637 introduced `create_self_transfer_multi` **which uses** `create_self_transfer` to create a "transaction template" which then adjusts (copy and mutate inputs and outputs) in order to create more complex multi-input multi-output transactions.
This can more easily lead to issues such as https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/26278 and is more of a maintenance burden.
This PR simplifies the logic by going the other way around. Now `create_self_transfer` **uses** `create_self_transfer_multi`.
The transaction creation logic has been moved to `create_self_transfer_multi` which is being called by `create_self_transfer` to construct the simple case of 1 input 1 output transaction.

Moved `bulk_transaction` into MiniWallet class as `_bulk_tx` private
helper method to be used when the newly added `target_weight` option is
passed to `create_self_transfer*`
Rather than abusing the member variables self._priv_key and
self._address to determine the MiniWallet mode, save it explicitly
instead in the constructor to increase the readability and
maintainability of the code.
687addaf13 test: add BIP-125 rule 5 testcase with default mempool (James O'Beirne)
6120e8e287 test: allow passing sequence through create_self_transfer_multi (James O'Beirne)
Pull request description:
Currently, we only test rule 5 of BIP-125 (replacement transactions cannot evict more than 100 transactions) by changing default mempool parameters to allow for more descendants. The current test works on a single transaction graph that has over 100 descendants.
This patch adds a test to exercise rule 5 using the default mempool parameters. The case is a little more sophisticated: instead of working on a single transaction graph, it uses a replacement transaction to "unite" several UTXOs which join independent transaction graphs. The total number of transactions in these graphs sum to more than the max allowable replacement.
I think the difference in transaction topology makes this a worthwhile testcase to have, setting aside the fact that this testcase works without having to use atypical mempool params.

MiniWallet's core method for creating txs (`create_self_transfer`)
right now always executes the `testmempoolaccept` RPC to check for
mempool validity or invalidity. In some test cases where we use
MiniWallet to create a huge number of transactions this can lead
to performance issues (e.g. feature_fee_estimation.py where the
execution time after MiniWallet usage almost doubled). Providing
the possibility to skip the mempool checks is a mitigation for
this.

Also explicitly rehash in the cases where we modify a tx after signing
in feature_csv_activation.py. Parts of this test relied on the fact that
rehashing of transactions is done in the course of calculating a block's
merkle root (`calc_merkle_root`), which only works if no hash was
calculated before due to a caching mechanism.
In the following commit the txid in MiniWallet is calculated via
`rehash()`, i.e. this doesn't work anymore and we always have to
explicitely have the right hash before we calculate the merkle root.

eb3c5c4ef2 test: MiniWallet: add helper methods `{send,create}_self_transfer_multi` (Sebastian Falbesoner)
Pull request description:
This PR enables one more of the non-wallet functional tests (mempool_package_onemore.py) to be run even with the Bitcoin Core wallet disabled by using the MiniWallet instead, as proposed in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/20078. For this purpose helper methods `MiniWallet.{create,send}_self_transfer_multi` are introduced which serve as a replacement for `chain_transaction`. With this, it should be also quite straight-forward to change the larger related test `mempool_packages.py` to use MiniWallet.

If no `from_node` parameter is passed explicitely to the
`create_self_transfer` method, the test node passed in the course
of creating the MiniWallet instance is used. This seems to
be the main use-case in most of the current functional
tests, i.e. in many instances the calls can be shortened.
