Pull request description:

  All softforks that are active at the tip of mainnet, should also be active from genesis in regtest. Otherwise their rules might not be enforced in user testing, thus making their testing less useful.

  To still allow tests to check pre-softfork rules, a runtime argument can change the activation height.

Test library

This contains files for the test library, which is used by the test binaries (unit tests, benchmarks, fuzzers, gui tests).

Generally, the files in this folder should be well-separated modules. New code should be added to existing modules or (when in doubt) a new module should be created.

The utilities in here are compiled into a library, which does not hold any state. However, the main file setup_common defines the common test setup for all test binaries. The test binaries will handle the global state when they instantiate the BasicTestingSetup (or one of its derived classes).
