Simon 7c463780cf Fixes #1779 so that sending to multiple zaddrs no longer fails.
Commit 2eeb6b randomized the order of input and output notes,
but this is now known to prevent the chaining of multiple joinsplits
in a single transaction.  The root cause has yet to be determined.

This patch is a temporary fix and disables the shuffling of input
and output notes.  It also adds a chained joinsplit test to the
python qa test suite.

Regression tests of RPC interface

python-bitcoinrpc

Git subtree of https://github.com/jgarzik/python-bitcoinrpc. Changes to python-bitcoinrpc should be made upstream, and then pulled here using git subtree.

test_framework/test_framework.py

Base class for new regression tests.

test_framework/util.py

Generally useful functions.

Notes

You can run a single test by calling qa/pull-tester/rpc-tests.sh <testname>.

Run all possible tests with qa/pull-tester/rpc-tests.sh -extended.

Possible options:

-h, --help       show this help message and exit
  --nocleanup      Leave bitcoinds and test.* datadir on exit or error
  --noshutdown     Don't stop bitcoinds after the test execution
  --srcdir=SRCDIR  Source directory containing bitcoind/bitcoin-cli (default:
                   ../../src)
  --tmpdir=TMPDIR  Root directory for datadirs
  --tracerpc       Print out all RPC calls as they are made
```

If you set the environment variable `PYTHON_DEBUG=1` you will get some debug output (example: `PYTHON_DEBUG=1 qa/pull-tester/rpc-tests.sh wallet`). 

A 200-block -regtest blockchain and wallets for four nodes
is created the first time a regression test is run and
is stored in the cache/ directory. Each node has 25 mature
blocks (25*50=1250 BTC) in its wallet.

After the first run, the cache/ blockchain and wallets are
copied into a temporary directory and used as the initial
test state.

If you get into a bad state, you should be able
to recover with:

```bash
rm -rf cache
killall bitcoind
```
