send_message only drops the bytes in a buffer and a sync is needed to
avoid intermittent test issues. Change the name of the method to make
this more apparent during review.

The previous diff touched most files in ./test/, so bump the headers to
avoid having to touch them again for a bump later.

./contrib/devtools/copyright_header.py update ./test/

Use object returned from add_p2p_connection to refer to
p2ps. Add a test class attribute if it needs to be used across
many methods. Don't use the p2p property.
The interfaces for the methods wait_for_header() and wait_for_merkleblock() are
changed to take a hex string instead of an integer, improving type safety and
removing the burden from the caller to always do the transformation via
`int(...)`. As suggested by MarcoFalke in
