Add assumevalid testcase

Adds a qa testcase testing the new "-assumevalid" option. The testcase builds
a chain that includes and invalid signature for one of the transactions and
sends that chain to three nodes:

 - node0 has no -assumevalid parameter and rejects the invalid chain.
 - node1 has -assumevalid set and accepts the invalid chain.
 - node2 has -assumevalid set but the invalid block is not buried deep
   enough to assume invalid, and so rejects the invalid chain.

+assumevalid.py
+
+Test logic for skipping signature validation on blocks which we've assumed
+valid (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/9484)
+
+We build a chain that includes and invalid signature for one of the
+transactions:
+
+    0:        genesis block
+    1:        block 1 with coinbase transaction output.
+    2-101:    bury that block with 100 blocks so the coinbase transaction
+              output can be spent
+    102:      a block containing a transaction spending the coinbase
+              transaction output. The transaction has an invalid signature. 
+    103-2202: bury the bad block with just over two weeks' worth of blocks
+              (2100 blocks)
+
+Start three nodes:
+
+    - node0 has no -assumevalid parameter. Try to sync to block 2202. It will
+      reject block 102 and only sync as far as block 101
+    - node1 has -assumevalid set to the hash of block 102. Try to sync to
+      block 2202. node1 will sync all the way to block 2202.
+    - node2 has -assumevalid set to the hash of block 102. Try to sync to
+      block 200. node2 will reject block 102 since it's assumed valid, but it
+      isn't buried by at least two weeks' work.
