2742c34286 test: add factor option to adjust test timeouts (Harris)
Pull request description:
This PR adds a new option **factor** that can be used to adjust timeouts in various functional tests.
Several timeouts and functions from `authproxy`, `mininode`, `test_node` and `util` have been adapted to use this option. The factor-option definition is located in `test_framework.py`.
