stratospher 69e091f3e1 [init] Create deterministic addrman in tests using -test=addrman
Supposing there are 2 different addresses to be placed in an addrman
table. During every test run, a different [bucket,position] would be
calculated for each address. These calculated [bucket,position] could
end up being the same for the 2 different addresses in some test runs
and result in collisions in the addrman. We wouldn't be able to
predict when the collisions are going to happen because we can't
predict the nKey value which is chosen at random. This can cause
flaky tests.

Improve this by allowing deterministic addrman creation in the
functional tests. This creates an addrman with fixed `nKey` = 1 and
we can know the [bucket,position] collisions beforehand, safely add
more addresses in an addrman table and write more extensive tests.
