14302a4802 test: fix test abort for high timeout values (and `--timeout-factor 0`) (Sebastian Falbesoner)
Pull request description:
On master, the functional tests's option `--timeout-factor 0` (which according to the test docs and parameter description should disable the RPC timeouts) currently fails, same as high values like `--timeout-factor 999999`:
```
$ ./test/functional/wallet_basic.py --timeout-factor 0

This is caused by a high timeout value that Python's HTTP(S) client library can't cope with. Fix this by clamping down the connection's set timeout value in AuthProxy. The change can easily be tested by running an arbitrary test with `--timeout-factor 0` on master (should fail), on this PR (should pass) and on this PR with the clamping value increased by 1 (should fail).
// EDIT: The behaviour was observed on OpenBSD 7.1 and Python 3.9.12.

It's nice to be able to use named options and positional arguments together.
Most shell tools accept both, and python functions combine options and
arguments allowing them to be passed with even more flexibility. This change
adds support for python's approach so as a motivating example:
bitcoin-cli -named createwallet wallet_name=mywallet load_on_startup=1
Can be shortened to:
bitcoin-cli -named createwallet mywallet load_on_startup=1
JSON-RPC standard doesn't have a convention for passing named and positional
parameters together, so this implementation makes one up and interprets any
unused "args" named parameter as a positional parameter array.
If the socket is tearing down macOS will return EPROTOTYPE instead of EPIPE.
Because python doesn't handle this internally we have to do a workaround and retry the request.
See https://bugs.python.org/issue33450
This adds explicit tests for the returned HTTP status codes to
interface_rpc.py (for error cases) and the HTTP JSON-RPC client in
general for success.
PR 15381 brought up discussion about the HTTP status codes in general,
and the general opinion was that the current choice may not be ideal
but should not be changed to preserve compatibility with existing
JSON-RPC clients. Thus it makes sense to actually test the current
status to ensure this desired compatibility is not broken accidentally.
Split off AuthServiceProxy.get_request method to make it easier to batch RPC
requests without duplicating code and remove leading underscore from _batch
method.
This does not change any existing behavior.
