Reduce the likelihood of false positive failures in the p2p
transaction propagation functional test by waiting up to a
maximum timeout for a transaction to propagate, rather than using a
fixed timeout, to reflect the random delay of Dandelion++ transaction
propagation. This strategy also speeds test execution in cases where
propagation occurs faster than the previously expected fixed delay.
Correct the unit tests for tools::is_hdd to avoid making assumptions
about the configuration of a particular device based solely on the
value of the __GLIBC__ preprocessor flag. Instead, rely on the
test invoker to provide paths for devices of specific types via
the process environment, thereby avoiding faulty assumptions and
improving the specificity of test assertions. To ensure appropriate
devices exist, add a script, tests/create_test_disks.sh, which
configures loopback devices mirroring relevant configurations.
Replace all calls to epee::file_io::get_file_size with
boost::filesystem::file_size in order to avoid lossy conversions from
paths to strings, which tend to break filename resolution. This commit
fixes a bug on Windows where the get_info RPC call reported a zero
database size because BlockchainLMBD::get_database_size returned zero.
