test: Tool wallet test coverage for unexpected writes to wallet
This commit adds test coverage in `test/functional/tool_wallet.py` to reproduce unexpected writes to the wallet as described in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/15608:

    - wallet tool `info` unexpectedly writes to the wallet file if the wallet file permissions are read/write.

    - wallet tool `info` raises with "Error loading . Is wallet being used by another process?" if the wallet file permissions are read-only.

1. Reproduce the reported issue, define the current unexpected behavior, and add test coverage to guide a future fix in the form of commented-out assertions to be uncommented when testing/fixing.

2. Provisionally extend the same coverage to the wallet tool create test and the getwalletinfo test as regression tests while fixing the issue.

3. Add some logging for sanity checking.

------

Changes after rebase:

5. Make wallet_path an instance method instead of a function in tool_wallet.py as per Marco Falke review suggestion.

6. Assert wallet permissions instead of logging them in tool_wallet.py. This ran into an issue with Appveyor keeping permissions at 666 so allowed for 666 as a workaround.

7. Change the added logging from info to debug level.

8. More helpful assertions order in tool_wallet.py#assert_tool_output. This change makes #assert_tool_output raise "Error loading wallet.dat. Is wallet being used by another process?" rather than a less-helpful message when debugging the read-only wallet permissions issue.

What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is an experimental digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Bitcoin Core is the name of open source software which enables the use of this currency.

For more information, as well as an immediately useable, binary version of the Bitcoin Core software, see https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/, or read the original whitepaper.

License

Bitcoin Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.

Development Process

The master branch is regularly built and tested, but is not guaranteed to be completely stable. Tags are created regularly to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.

The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.

Testing

Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.

Automated Testing

Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run (assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.

There are also regression and integration tests, written in Python, that are run automatically on the build server. These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py

The Travis CI system makes sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.

Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing

Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.

Translations

Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Bitcoin Core's Transifex page.

Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.

Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.

Translators should also subscribe to the mailing list.
