test: MiniWallet: add `send_to` method to create arbitrary txouts

With this new method, outputs to an arbitrary scriptPubKey/amount can
be created. Note that the implementation was already present in the
test feature_rbf.py and is just moved to the MiniWallet interface, in
order to enable other tests to also use it.
