581b343d5b Add in/out connections to cli -getinfo (Jon Atack)
d9cc13e88d UNIX_EPOCH_TIME fixup in rpc getnettotals (Jon Atack)
1ab49b81cf Add in/out connections to rpc getnetworkinfo (Jon Atack)
Pull request description:
This is basic info that is present in the GUI that I've been wishing to have exposed via the RPC and CLI without needing a bash workaround or script. For human users it would also be useful to have it in `-getinfo`.
`bitcoin-cli getnetworkinfo`
```
"connections": 15,
"connections_in": 6,
"connections_out": 9,
```
`bitcoin-cli -getinfo`
```
"connections": {
"in": 6,
"out": 9,
"total": 15
},
```
Update the tests, RPC help, and release notes for the changes. Also fixup the `getnettotals` timemillis help while touching `rpc/net.cpp`.
-----
Reviewers can manually test this PR by [building from source](https://jonatack.github.io/articles/how-to-compile-bitcoin-core-and-run-the-tests), launching bitcoind, and then running `bitcoin-cli -getinfo`, `bitcoin-cli getnetworkinfo`, `bitcoin-cli help getnetworkinfo`, and `bitcoin-cli help getnettotals` (for the UNIX epoch time change).

Pull request description:
New contributors are often confused by the terminology in the test framework, and what the difference between a _node_ and a _peer_ is. To summarize:
- a 'node' is a bitcoind instance. This is the thing whose behavior is being tested. Each bitcoind node is managed by a python `TestNode` object which is used to start/stop the node, manage the node's data directory, read state about the node (eg process status, log file), and interact with the node over different interfaces.
- one of the interfaces that we can use to interact with the node is the p2p interface. Each connection to a node using this interface is managed by a python `P2PInterface` or derived object (which is owned by the `TestNode` object). We can open zero, one or many p2p connections to each bitcoind node. The node sees these connections as 'peers'.
For historic reasons, the word 'mininode' has been used to refer to those p2p interface objects that we use to connect to the bitcoind node (the code was originally taken from the 'mini-node' branch of https://github.com/jgarzik/pynode/tree/mini-node). However that name has proved to be confusing for new contributors, so rename the remaining references.

a51d0ad2de rpc: Improve addnode remove command error message (Fabian Jahr)
Pull request description:
The `addnode` RPC with the `remove` command parameter is used to remove a node from the "added nodes". It did not have test coverage and in case of failure to remove the node it responded with the confusing message "Error: Node has not been added.".
This PR adds test coverage and introduces a new error code as well as changes the error message to something that makes sense.

New getnodeaddresses call gives access via RPC to the peers known by
the node. It may be useful for bitcoin wallets to broadcast their
transactions over tor for improved privacy without using the
centralized DNS seeds. getnodeaddresses is very similar to the getaddr
p2p method.
Tests the new rpc call by feeding IP address to a test node via the p2p
protocol, then obtaining someone of those addresses with
getnodeaddresses and checking that they are a subset.
Lowering the minimum relay fee is only useful when many nodes in the
p2p network also lower the fee, so to make it easier to understand
progress on that front, this includes the value of the minfeefilter in
getpeerinfo, so you at least have visibility to what fees your neighbours
are currently accepting.
rpc_net.py would intermittently fail on Travis, probably
due to assuming that two consecutive RPC calls were atomic.
Fix this by only testing that amounts are bounded above and
below rather than equal.
