fba4baa4fa22fdf96935af1bd6b253c3ad76165f test: speed up wallet_address_types by whitelisting peers (immediate tx relay) (Sebastian Falbesoner)

Pull request description:

  approaches another part of #16613 ("Functional test suite bottlenecks")

  As for `wallet_backup.py` (Commit 581c9be0d8bff46cd68bd6a3bf72f22d11c09aea), the
  bottleneck is in relaying transactions. By whitelisting the peers, the
  inventory is transmissioned immediately rather than on average every 5 seconds,
  speeding up the test significantly:

  before:
  ```
  $ time ./wallet_address_types.py
  real    1m30.072s
  user    0m6.478s
  sys     0m2.298s
  ```

  with this PR:
  ```
  $ time ./wallet_address_types.py
  real    0m26.785s
  user    0m5.525s
  sys     0m1.888s
  ```
