test: speed up wallet_avoidreuse.py

Use -whitelist to speed up transaction relay.

The wallet_avoidreuse.py test is not intended to test transaction relay/timing,
so it should be fine to do this here.

This greatly reduces test run time variability and speeds up the test by 2-3
times on average, e.g. on my system from 20-30 seconds down to 8-10 seconds.
