Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#22210: test: Use MiniWallet in test_no_inherited_signaling RBF test

fa7d71f270b89c9d06230d4ff262646f9ea29f4a test: Run pep-8 on touched test (MarcoFalke)
fab7e99c2a4b02a41b7448b45f0e6cdfdbb53ac3 test: Use MiniWallet in test_no_inherited_signaling RBF test (MarcoFalke)
fab871f649e3da4a5a5f6cffac3fc748bb1ca900 test: Remove unused generate() from test (MarcoFalke)
faff3f35b778d9af3d649b303d7edab49bfe40b4 test: Add txin.sequence option to MiniWallet (MarcoFalke)

Pull request description:

  This comes with nice benefits:
  * Less code and complexity
  * Test can be run without wallet compiled in

  Also add some additional checks for `getmempoolentry` (#22209) and other cleanups :art:
